First off start by saying that this was in my top 5 favorite hikes.
I started around 9:30am in the morning and it was sunny. The first part of the hike was pretty shaded by trees which kept it cool when walking up some steep parts. Then you hit a rock pit type area which has beautiful views and the start of the clearing area. Once you have about a half a mile to a mile of that you hit more shaded area which leads into gorgeous views of different mountains in the area and some awesome foliage and flowers. This goes on for quite sometime. Then you'll hit the beginning of the katwalk.
By far the best views I have ever seen. I also saw about 8 marmots, and some field rabbits, and awesome animal footprints (even some bear). It does get pretty cold the farther you go up but that is expected.
Definitely bring a camera because you won't stop snapping pictures once you get to the katwalk. If you are an average to moderate hiker this is a not to difficult hike. I definitely recomend it to everyone! (not so much children)
