Spanish Fork Peak
My fiance, Dustinh, and I hiked up Spanish Fork Peak about 2 weeks ago. It was a beautiful hike, but a little over-grown in places. Also, there were A LOT of bugs swarming and seeming to follow you the whole way up!!! Too much snow to actually make it to the top, which was only about 500 feet further. Needless to say, we were sooo upset we couldn't peak so much so that we tried scaling the rock slides but with a dog we just didn't want to take the chance.

Weird that you weren't able to summit. In 21 June 2008 I summited the peak on the and there was WAY more snow than there is right now up there. I even took a sled with me to ride into the little lake there. We also rode the sled down the glacier from the top.
My hike last week to Maple Canyon Lake was, interestingly enough, a bit different than yours. We didn't have any problems with bugs. And it was difficult to see how any snow would prevent people from summiting. Maybe a week is all it took to clear the snow.

Sorry you didn't get to summit @TXtrailhunter, definitely a wonderful view from the top. Funny you should mention your dog running out of steam...the first time I summited that peak, I brought along my pointer/lab mix who was a running fool and could run along side a vehicle for miles on a mountain road. I'll bet he covered 15 miles by the time we got to the top with all the "hunting" he did on the ascent. That was the first time I'd ever seen him pooped and needless to say, he stayed right in my tracks on the way down.
Glad to hear there are still some salamanders in the lake @Kuya with as low as it is.
