I followed wakx's trip report for this trail for an overnight trip at Camp Comfort and it was extremely helpful. Recommend relying on that report if you are planning a trip.
We arrived on Friday at 9:30 AM and there was only one other car there. We expected to be joined by other folks in the evening, but we were lucky to have all of the area to ourselves! We did see a few overnighter parties coming in Saturday morning as we hiked out.
Signage on the trail was confusing. At one point we accidentally went down a wrong turn as we didn't see the trail we were supposed to go down (kind of went around a bend) and ended up logging an extra 1.5 miles. Stay left whenever you see a split in the trail! Also be aware that the elevation is either flat or punchy. It's less of a gradual incline.
There were a decent number of wasps that would come check us out whenever we ate, though they weren't too much of a nuisance when food was packed up. Mosquitos did start to appear as we approached dusk. They don't tend to find me interesting and I had about 5 bites total when I got home, whereas my sister had 7 just on her face that night. Bring your bug spray!
