Trail to Glacier Basin is in excellent condition, lots of flowers & for those macro lovers there is quite a large number of Few Flowered shooting stars. Bears have been seen in the area lately so be cautious with your food. The campground by the basin has a few flies & mosquitos but nothing a repellent can't take care of. Interglacier is in decent shape, the top of the first step has some hard ice becoming runny by noon, you will encounter three crevasses (all very well marked). The glissading chutes are already made & perfect for a quick descente. Lots of people before the glacier, scarce after that. memorable hike/climb. Bring an ice axe, gaiters, sunscreen & sun glasses.
