My wife likes low elevation gain hikes that are far enough in the back country that you can't hear any roads or airplanes. This one is perfect: amazing views for a pretty mellow hike.
Be aware that with the cold weather this week, the Middle Fork Road has some black ice patches between the Mailbox and Granite Lakes trailheads where the water runs over the road.
The trail itself is in great shape. We saw probably 20 people on the trail, many of which were families with young kids, but for a sunny Saturday, there was a lot of solitude.
