Hiked this for the first time in a few years on a gorgeous Sunday. The road is not great, but nothing that an SUV or Subie can't handle. The trailhead is easy to miss; from the road it looks like a graveled wash, and the sign is a hundred feet up the trail, not visible from the road.
The hike itself is beautiful and short. Lovely view from the top, with Mt. Rainier in all its glory just out of arm's reach. Mt. Tinkham and its accompanying ridge looks great from the top too. Some very snazzy butterflies put on a fun show. Only saw 4-5 other groups the whole time, which was a surprise given our late start on this holiday weekend stunner of a day.
All in all, if you only have a couple hours to hike, don't mind a bit of uphill, and you want to see some mountains, this should be on your list.
