We had done this hike in 1997, when the road was in terrible condition. It's in great shape now, much of it is asphalt, and even the gravel portions are smooth and even. The trail is in great shape too. No one seems to agree on the number of switchbacks--33? 37? but most of the way it's in shade, although this wasn't a hot day. A few biting flies near the bottom, but they soon disappeared. There were three small snow fields to cross. The view from the top is spectacular.
