If you haven't been here for a while, you'll find the trail much improved, easy for little kids, overweight people, old folks and probably even doable for those in wheelchairs.
The snow field has yet to reveal the main ice cave, and it can be tempting to wander onto the snow on a hot day, but channels have opened up just below the surface in many places, so please stay off the snow & ice.
Some of the blueberries along the trail are almost ripe, a couple months before their high elevation counterparts. Pretty wildflowers along the trail now too.
