The snow has melted! (Or at least it is down to a couple of 10 ft wide patches that can be scurried around.) The trail was dry in all but a few tiny spots. We wore hiking boots but would have been just as happy in running shoes, Chacos or the like.
It was a fabulously sunny day with perfect views of Rainier. We sat on the top for a good 30 minutes just enjoying the views, dashed over to Mason Lake (trail still covered in well-packed snow) for a supremely chilly dip, and headed down. By 2:00 we were back to a very full parking lot and dreaming of chocolate milkshakes.
