Drive up has a few potholes but is passable is most vehicles. Arrived around 09:15 to several parking spots still available.
First stretch of trail gradually slipped upwards through the woods with occasional puddles. Then there was a moderately steep section of switchbacks. They were steep enough for me to take a breather every now and then but not so steep as to be unpleasant. The trail then had some stream crossings which were no problem on the way up but grew in flow throughout the day.
Then the trail opened up into some beautiful alpine meadows before making a final climb to the summit of the butte. The peak afforded some fantastic view of the nearby mountains, valleys, and meadows.
Overall, the hike offered fantastic views and variety for only moderate effort. Definitely recommend this hike.
