Made a 12 mile round trip trek starting at 7am and returning around 12:30. The trail was wet but only muddy with puddles in a few places. There were a few blowdows, one around 3 miles if memory serves correctly and the other just after the trail levels out near the Katwalk. The entire hike up was shrouded in fog. The sun was making an effort to come through and close peaks made appearances on the way down, but I don't think it succeeded fully until later in the afternoon. While the trailhead parking lot was full when I returned, the amount of hikers I encountered on the way down was significantly less than I anticipated.
