Beautiful, jungle-like hike. Started before 7am and there were a couple other hikers. Dry and easy to navigate the stone steps. Definitely steeper in parts than Rattlesnake.
As you approach the first viewpoint the trees thin and the breeze comes in, relieving some humidity. Clear views of Rainier. Short ascent to the true top, looking out over Issaquah. Didn't see any paragliders at the top, but did see one landing as I left the parking lot. Lots of folks coming up after 9am with a full parking lot.
