The trail is in good shape with fairly recent maintenance and easy enough to follow. There are some muddy spots and mosquitoes were sometimes bad. The basin is a nice place to camp. We followed the creek up from the basin and then traversed to the ridge following a scree chute but did not find all that great vantage because of the trees on the other side, probably better to stay closer to Sloan for best views. The descent felt very steep back to the basin.
The 3 miles from the Mountain Loop Highway are on fairly course gravel, fun for all wheel drive but rough for a low sedan. We drove back making the full loop of the Mountain Loop Highway, which is in great shape.
