It will be easier from Horton Lakes, but there are still a few snow patches. The approach road might require 4WD or a high clearance vehicle. From Lower Horton Lake the old mine road has been partially destroyed in a few places, but not bad overall. If you are tempted to spend the night in one of the cabins...don't...they are mouse hotels.
The route from Pine Creek follows the Gable Lakes trail until above 8,000 and then more or less follows the old tram-way. It's pretty hard going. And some snow patches. Start at the Pine Creek pack station parking area.
