This is an out-and-back hike to Green Lake. There is no beta on Green Lake on AllTrails, but there is a hike to Black Lake from which you can extrapolate the trail conditions and comments. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/colorado/mills-lake-black-lake-frozen-lake-trail?mobileMap=false&ref=sidebar-static-map

As mentioned, this is partially exploratory. I've never been to Green, though understand there is some trail / some above treeline walking. Please be prepared for some bushwhacking and a range of conditions.
