Really great hike overall! Got enough breaks in the clouds to see Shucksan and Baker and tons of ripe huckleberries and blueberries. We hiked to about 5500 ft before turning around.
Road: road in was more pot holed than I remember, but still not terrible. Not a problem for SUVs.
Trail: the trail was mostly in good condition. Sightly brushy at some points a couple miles in but overall not bad. Main issue was runoff from the rain following the tread. A lot of the water bars and ditchs weren't directing water so the tread had quite a bit of water in a lot of spots.
Snow: No snow up to where we hiked to at 5500 ft. Looked like the snow didn't start until 6000 ft or so.
Other Hikers: Saw four other parties including some hunters. Forgot to bring orange except for an orange buff, remember to bring more orange than I did this time of year!
