Our plan is all set, we're planning on starting our hike from A-Loj parking lot next Sunday(9/12) morning and hiking past Marcy Dam, then down the western edge of Avalanche Lake to Beaver Point lean-tos. Is it a strong possibility that the parking lot will be full early Sunday morning? Also...

Thanks for your help
