Trail was less crowded than I feared on a nice day like this, but I suppose it's somewhat limited by the parking. We got lucky and somebody was leaving the parking lot just as we arrived, something of a surprise at 9am. There were probably a couple dozen cars parked along the road, and this road is always a little dicey to run across. On the trail, we passed maybe a dozen other parties, and nearly everyone was good about masking and leaving distance.
No mud left on the trail that can't be easily walked around, but there's still a good amount of water flowing in the streams and waterfalls along the trail. The trillium are out in force right now, lots in view of the trail, and some good groups of a few dozen. We heard a bunch of frogs on our way down the Cliffs/Gombu side, and they stopped quite abruptly when we were still a couple hundred feet away. We saw one cute little frog in some mud at the side of the trail, which was about the only wildlife other than some common birds.
