Gorgeous day. The road to the trailhead was fine for a little VW Golf. The trail is great with the exception of a very short (<10 meter) scree-ish section traversing the steep slope as you approach the tarns which is eroding away. The combination of remaining wildflowers and emerging fall colors was fantastic. Although the parking lot was overflowing, we hiked in relative solitude and the butte wasn't overcrowded. This will be great for the next few weeks!
