The Forest Service Gate is still locked...
There are plenty of tracks all the way around the loop, but there's still a lot of snow to deal with. It's essentially straight up to Trail Pass...around to Cottonwood Pass and straight down to the Parking Lot...
Here are a few photos:

It was raining for about the last half mile of the hike and kept raining until I rode down to the valley.
11 miles in a just over 5 hours, so the conditions aren't too tough...
