The main trail description continues to be accurate — dozens and dozens of tight, dusty switchbacks going straight-up, then lengthy stretches of uphill before reaching a basin, then more switchbacks to the ridgeline to the summit after about 4 miles. It's tough!
As of 7/17/2021, no snow remains on the trail; there are some flowers left for a bit longer. Bugs are absolutely terrible once you clear the opening switchbacks - bring bugspray. Also, bring more water than you think you need. Even when the temperature is in the 60s or low 70s, if the sun is out, it will feel A LOT hotter.
If the road to the alternate route up (Snowy Creek) is passable, you may want to take that route.
