Parking @10am almost full. You have to park on side of the road to keep gate clear and then on the side of 101 which isn’t the safest. Gate for road to trailhead is still closed, the walk from 101 to trailhead adds maybe half a mile.
Trail is well maintained. It’s gets steep pretty much right after the info sign. A good workout with switchbacks as well as long portions of a steep grade. I’m a slower hiker so took me 1.5 hours up. View at the north side was nice of Olympics and the canal. Went to the South viewpoint and that was fogged in. I clocked closer to 6.5 miles with the addition of the road to TH and then hiking around on the top. Beautiful trail I would like to come back when rhodies are in bloom as that would add more to the hike up.
Privy on the Northside still locked South viewpoint bathrooms open.
