Decided (like many others) to get in one more hike of Granite before the avalanche risk makes it unavailable.
There's a lot of water and mud on the trail in the first few hundred yards, but that's the worst of the trip (at least until near the top). Some trees still had colorful leaves, and with the sunlight intermittently streaming through the fog/low clouds it was very pretty. There was no snow on the trail for most of the route up, at most a dusting until the trail gets above 4500'. At the summit it's a couple inches deep on the level.
By the time I got down, the cars were parked along the road almost to where it straightens out to the main road.
