Thanks for the update chicagoan.
I'm planning on going to Cottonwood Lakes, up New Army Pass, then towards Rock Creek and loop back through cottonwood Pass, however I'm bringing 3 people that have no experience with snow conditions, no traction devices. We're thinking about just hanging out in the Cottonwood Lakes basin instead and make it a shorter trip.
How much snow did you encounter on the trail leading up to High Lake?
Anybody else has info regarding snow towards Lakes 3-4-5 and (Old) Army Pass?
