We arrived at the trailhead expecting to not find parking but there were at least 10 spots available in the overflow lot at 8:20AM. We had a backup plan of hiking at the North Bend Park and Ride and taking the trailhead direct shuttle but were happy to be able to park at the trailhead. I'd recommend looking into the trailhead direct shuttle for people who are determined to do this hike and can't find parking.

We had a 5 year old with us and knew this hike would be a bit of a challenge for him but he did amazing and we made it to the top in roughly 2 hours and back down took about an hour and a half. As per usual with trails close to urban areas, there were lots of other hikers on the trail including families with kids older than ours and some younger ones in carriers, and a few groups of trail runners. I was a bit annoyed about so many hikers letting their dogs off leash in such a crowded trail but overall, none of the dogs were problematic though it was concerning for my son to have big dogs run right up to him.

The trail itself was in great shape with some steeper areas requiring stepping up over some big rocks or tree roots. My kid is quite experienced outdoors and had no problem but for younger kids who are less confident might need assistance.

We found huckleberries, salmon berries and a few thimbleberries. There were blackberries that were starting to ripen but won't be ready for a few more weeks.
