I've been hiking increasingly harder trails since May and have had this on my bucket list the entire time.
Some thoughts.... it's long, fairly relentless, but the trail is in great shape. I only needed to stop for a break about 3.5 miles in then pushed up to the top with some hands and feet rock climbing for the last 100 feet.
The top is a rocky peak and there's not much room at the top for much of anything except sitting on a boulder. And it was busy too which made it more crowded feeling. The views were amazing of Snoqualmie valley and I-90 and Mt. Rainier was something really unique!!! There are some cute birds that fly all around the peak. Probably looking for some dropped trail mix from a sloppy eating hiker.
Took 2:15 up and 1:45 down.
