Beautiful hike!
We got to the trailhead at noon. The lot was full with cars lined along the road.
There were a lot of other hikers and dogs on the trail. The water crossings were manageable, though the big fall crossing at Heliotrope Creek was more difficult. We were fine without poles, but saw other hikers use them. It did take a few attempts to find the best place to cross. The views were spectacular, and we contemplated ended our trek here, but were able to find an area to pass.
When we got to the glacier view point, we saw climbers on the glacier, which was very cool. It was quite a bit cooler up at the top and I was glad I brought my puffy.
Overall, the hike felt moderately challenging and was absolutely worth the work for the payoff.
