I arrived around 7:30am on a clear Sunday morning. The parking lot wasn't quite half full yet.
Overall this trail is in good condition, and has a solid elevation gain throughout, making it a great choice for a workout. I did not do the scramble up the haystack, instead opting to stop at the talus slope and enjoy some lunch before turning around. Good views of Rainier from here!
My Apple Watch clocked 7.83mi, 3,091ft of elevation gain over 4 hours total.
