Route from Denny Creek trailhead to Harenstein Lake was free of snow. The creeks were running high, so one or two crossings were wet. After Harenstein Lake, the westward bushwhack to the north slope of Turner was still snow-covered and wet with lots of drainage below the snow and some post-holing. The bushwhack wasn't so fun on the way up, when I went too far south; it was a lot easier on the way back when I followed a sparse path that ended up near the northern part of the lake. There's still a decent amount of snow on the north side of Turner, but it is possible to find a route the entire way up that avoids snow and isn't steep if you don't mind going a little out of the way.
