Arrived about 9:30 to a good choice of parking spots. I think the murky weather this morning kept people away. A couple more pictures of the trail damage that is within a quarter mile of the entry gate. That's going to be quite a bottle neck on a busy day. Apart from having to scoot around that (held on to that stump on the left), the trail is in great shape. Not too slippy after the rain. Lots of flowers right from the get go, especially fringe cup, and the ferns are all lovely. I saw all the usual plus honey suckle and Nootka rose. A little breezy at the top meaning not too many people hanging out there.
Back at the car by lunch time and parking now tight. I did note the "pay" lot across the street is advertised as $10, glad the trail head direct bus is now running again on weekends. Then it was off to REI to check on their sale.
