The trail to Tuck and Robin Lakes is snow-free as of October 21. Hikers have encountered numerous downed trees, with some sections recently logged out and others requiring careful navigation around blowdowns and rock slides, particularly past Hyas Lake, October 19, and October 16. The final approach to Robin Lakes is described as steep and rough, with intermittent snow reported in late September that was not difficult to cross. The road to the Tucquala Meadows Trailhead is suitable for all vehicles, and parking was available, though the trailhead can get busy.
