Beautiful day for hike. When I arrived around 11am, there were two cars at the trailhead. I encountered two parties on the way up, one arrived at the lookout while I was there, then one more as I was heading down. Large family of mountain goats was present on a nearby rock outcropping. No mosquitos of any kind.
The trail is in pretty good shape. The middle section, with the switchbacks, is a bit intense for sporadic-hikers like myself, but a lot of rest-stops and water got me through it. About an hour and a half to get to the lookout, and an hour to get back to the trailhead, with an hour and some lunch at the top. I would definitely make this hike again.
