Reached parking lot by 9:15 and it was overflowing. Parked about 0.25 mile from the main lot. Started ascent by 9:30 and it was a gradual elevation until the 3rd mile (~950ft). Next mile gained another 900 ft and then the 5th mile gaine another 900ft. To the peak was another 450 ft in about 0.4 miles. Stayed there for 30 - 40 mins. Not lucky enough to see Mt.Baker, it was cloudy just on Mt. Baker. Seems like Baker is asking me to do it again sometime later. Had a little snack and my dog had some fun with the snow patch and chasing bees. Started descent around 12:30 and reached the parking lot by 2:15, the line was little longer than it was in the morning. On the way up, bugs were not a problem as it was not that warm. On the way down they were just swarming and i was lucky enough to escape with just one bite. Only consolation is along with bugs, there was quite a few butterflies.
- I would recommend high clearance vehicle for this TH, but saw some sedans and one minivan at the parking lot.
- Bugs are definitely an annoyance, suggest having a face net and/or bug spray.
- Restroom is almost full and out of TP.
