It was an early spring, partly cloudy day. Around 11am on a Saturday, the parking area near the gate at the road was nearly full. Going up was easy, coming down hurt my knees. At the top are bathrooms. Took us about 90 minutes to climb and 15 minutes less than that to descend. The weather turned when we summited. Became cloudy and the air up there was near freezing. Started to rain a bit. That's ok, we were prepared. The clouds parted every so often to afford us some nice views. We looked out the North and Western view then walked the forest road south a bit to see the south lookout. Seattle was hidden behind a light veil of clouds. Lots of people to chat with. All in all, it was a great training hike that created everlasting memories.
