Went on Friday May 2nd, 2025. Arrived to the trailhead at about 230pm and parking lot was 80-ish% full. Got back down around 645pm. There were already signs around the area advertising the shuttle and reminding about permits required on the weekend
This hike is brutal. Steep hiking most of the way up with little relief. Early on you’ll get to a fork in the road and see a sign that says difficult one way and more difficult the other way. We took the difficult route at the same time another couple took the other way. We arrived at the meet up point where the trail connects at the same time.
When you make to the second “puppy” overlook you could happily call it here. But! I would encourage you go all the way, some more good views to be had. Fear not many of the wildflowers are out, but the lupines aren’t quite ready yet.
