The road to the trailhead is in fantastic condition, only a couple potholes. Trailhead had plenty of space and the vault toilet was clean, stocked with tp, and smelled of fresh cedar. Trailhead does require a pass - we saw two cars with tickets on their windshields. We only hiked two miles in so I do not know the state of snow at the pass.
The trail is very brushy in the sections that aren't in shady forest and has a couple small shallow creek/snow melt crossings. I recommend water proof shoes instead of the highly absorbent sneakers I made the mistake of wearing. TONS of wildflowers blooming right now. overall, a beautiful hike.
