We lucked out with beautiful weather and incredible views on our Wednesday hike. We arrived at the guard station with no line just before 8AM and had no issues parking at Longmire.
The trail is steep, but nice and shaded for the majority of the hike and elevation gain. The creek crossing made for a good snack stop and place to apply sunblock. There was one log to climb over on the trail. There were several sections of ripe blueberries and huckleberries. The bench at the saddle, just a little past the sign, made for an incredible lunch location.
We enjoyed beautiful views and solitude, only seeing 2 others on the trail and one family closer to the trailhead.
Incredible day outside!
