As usual the trail was well groomed and easy to hike. We started off at the TH at 10 am. The trail registry only showed that we were going to be the only ones up there. There were a few groups that were due down. We passed the couple groups that were due down, however looking for a campsite was difficult. The far side was all full. Obviously people were not using the register.
We did however find a good site and the campground filled to capasity by the evening. Keep that in mind when planning. This is a very busy place in the summer. Even mid week its busy.
The weather was supposed to be clear and warm, even the evening were decent or supposed to be. Let that be a lesson to us all. Two thunderstorms throughout the evening were definetly not on the forecast. I only brought the rain fly so I got wet from the splashing up and the forming puddles. Oh well, it was an interesting experience listening to the thunder rumble through the valleys.
