The rain did not put a damper on this hike. In spite of the recent rain and the steady rain during the day, the trail was in quite good shape. There were some puddles to be sure, but nothing too serious in terms of water on the trail. The trail was pretty much a steady climb the whole way, with a few steep swtichback sections. I would give it a moderate rating overall. There are really no views along the way, as you never get above the tree line, except for the viewpoints of Stan's overlook and Grand Prospect. Because of the clouds, there was not much to see at the overlooks, but we appreciated the tables at Stan's and the benches at Grand Prospect and stayed a bit and could just make out Mount Si, I think. This will give us reason to come back another time!
FYI, plenty of room at the parking lot at 8am when we started and 12:30pm when we returned, and the pit toilet was open.
