It is nise to escape this fog for a little a while
The trail was in terrific shape except for a muddy slippery section below the summit that is still melting out. Unfortunately that area is quite trampled. It is no difficult to travel through.
I traveled up ridge line through the boulders to the summit and took the trail through the rock back down.
I highly recommend this hike although it would be more enjoyable on a cooler day given after the first hour there is almost no shade. Be sure to go on a weekday or early in the morning.I understand why it is so popular. The trail is well maintained (thanks to WTA), it is very easy to access, and the flowers and views are terrific. Go soon!
