TH Lot was full at 9am. Hiked clockwise and didn't pass too many people.trail was in excellent condition. not muddy

a delightful morning hike. the small parking lot fills fast, and all the toilets appeared to be locked. trail in great condition. no snow or slush today. trail is pretty steep, so I wouldn't call it "easy"

Trail in remarkably good shape despite recent rains; this one is very well maintained. With the campground gate closed for the season the number of parking spots in the lot is limited, but there’s plenty of room along the road. Excellent trail for a winter hike along rushing creeks, and the loop rather than out-and-back is nice in Covid times in that there’s less running into people on the trail. Most traffic seems to move in the clockwise direction.

It was drizzling when we arrived at the trailhead and did not stop all day. But even in the rain this hike is very charming! We hiked clockwise and stopped at the overlook along the trail to Mt. Ellinor, but because of the dense clouds, there was nothing to see. On a clear day, you can look out over Lake Cushman. There was a tiny bit of slushy snow at the viewpoint, but other than that no snow. Trail is in good shape, not too rocky or rooty. Lots of pretty bridges and streams to admire, and benches along the way if you need to rest or have a snack. We did about 7 or 8 miles all told (my iPhone and Apple Watch provided conflicting data) in 4 hours.
