- Road to trailhead inaccessible
There are still three washouts on the road up to the trailhead; the last is impassable. Do your best to park facing outbound, not up towards the trailhead, or you may have a very difficult time turning around when you return. We arrived at 7:45 AM and were lucky to park only about 50 yds. below the last washout. Those arriving later were not so lucky, and there's going to be a real mess up there when people try to exit.
The trail is in great shape: dry all the way up, no snow. Views were spectacular--Rainier, Adams, Mason Lake, fields of bear grass and wildflowers galore. A nice breeze picked up mid-morning. A little buggy at the top.
Back down at the trailhead, we met a group departing for Defiance at 1:00 PM, during the hottest part of the day. Start early!
