As far as what I saw, there wasn't any flowing water above Mirror Lake. But that was a week ago already, things will be very different by Memorial Day.

jc, a month from now people will be hiking the switchbacks past the cables. I doubt any snow gear will be necessary.

Hi jc9922 - By snow gear if you mean crampons, you also have the option of renting crampons, some REI locations rent Kahtoola crampons for $12 a day ($10 second and each consecutive day). I would always carry a pair. From all the reports that I have seen, despite the drought and warm weather, everything above 12,000 is frozen in early/mid morning when most people ascend.

Have a great hike!
