Rim View starts at an informal campground by a lake and meanders up through a meadow for a bit. The trail then turns to a super fun rocky descent that spits you out at Mesa Lakes and the start of the West Bench trail

Still lots of snow patches and down trees. Needs a little time, but far less snow than a week ago.
