Nice trail with varying terrain, good views and no other hikers on it. The first part starts out fairly steep as you go straight up the hillside with a few switchbacks thrown in for good measure. Fairly well maintained trail with only a couple downed trees sprinkled in. Mosquitoes were present near the small ponds that still had water in them, but I didn't find them bad. We weren't here at dusk though, so I imagine it gets worse.There are also berries everywhere on this trail on the upper portion near the pass and we even saw some leaves turning red/yellow.
Do this hike if you like views of granite mountain faces, berries, and solitude. Just know that it's a bit steep in places and you'll get a workout going up.

How long did the dirt road portion take, Eric, and what type of vehicle did you use?
