Wildflowers are bursting with color! However, the road to the trailhead is overgrown on one side with woody branches. Your car will get scratches. There is a large rutted out area where we stopped. The road is fine past that part. Most cars were parked before the ruts and branches (there were only four other cars on this holiday Friday.)
The trail hasn't been maintained. It is overgrown in places, is sliding down the side in places, is straight up on loose rocks in places, and even just fine in places. It gives a good workout in about a mile to a trail junction. Nice views all around and flowers of all colors line both sides of the trail. The trail levels off for a bit after reaching the forest at the junction. There are views down to Thorp Lake. Then the trail switchbacks up for the final push to the lookout. We got a late start (at 1:00) and shared it with only one other person who we had a nice chat with!
Stopped at The Brick in Roslyn on the way back. First time in a restaurant since March. Great day all around!
