Great hike as always. Arrived early (7:15 a.m.) and got the last "official" parking spot. Pot holes are still huge but that is about to change (keep reading). There was still a lot of parking along the sides of the entrance road.
Lots of ripe berries...especially up in the bowl and higher.
The parking lot is scheduled for closure starting 8 September for paving. All vehicles have to be gone by the evening of the 7th. Hopefully, the entire road into the parking will be paved or at least the deep potholes filled. I was driving a Hyundai Tuscan with ALD and 19 inch tires. I still did not like driving into the trail head and it was impossible to stay out of all of them.
