Hugely late but wanted to document a very nice after work hike I did with a friend last week.

We headed out from Seattle at 6ish, to avoid the heat, since we had picked the hottest day of the year (so far) to hike. Luckily we had carpooled, because even late in the day during the week the main lot was quite full.

The trail is in pretty good shape, with the notable exception of a giant eroded rocky section toward the beginning...its a good lesson in how sightlines can affect trails...the trail seems like it used to switchback across this rock face, but years of people cutting the switchback has effectively erased the trail and eroded away all the dirt near a large tree sitting at the top of the rock section.

With that exception, the trail is in great shape, and looks like it got a lot of work done in the many years since I have been there.

We hung out on the summit and chatted while the sun set and then headed back down in the semi-dark. Luckily we had enough light that we didn't need to bust out the headlamps.

I did pick up a green LL Bean tee that I left at the trailhead...assuming it has since been picked up.
