I have talked with the Ranger, there is water in the lake. There should be water along the trail if you’d like to bring a filter. This hike is doable for an Intermediate to Advanced-Intermediate hiker and somewhat comparable gain and distance-wise to Sitton Peak (3273') if you have ever been on that trail. The big difference, our hike to Dry Lake is at higher elevation between 7000-9000 feet. I’ve heard a creek crosses over the trail from time to time, so consider waterproof boots. Looks like temps will be in the hi 60s - mid 70s.
LET'S PLEASE STICK TOGETHER, NOT FAST, BUT A MODERATE PACE.
