We arrived to the trailhead around 5 p.m. on a sunny Tuesday. There was some haze from wildfires but it didn't impact air quality or views.
This is a beautiful hike with a few really steep stretches. We saw a plump marmot snacking on a purple wildflowers closer to the top. We also saw a few deer.
We arrived back to the car at 6:45. I'm a slower hiker and took several breaks. There is no shade, and the sun really beats down on you at that elevation.
