The forecast called for showers and so I packed a rainjacket, but when we still had ten miles to go before the trailhead and the showers turned to snow, we called it. The temp had dropped twenty degrees and we weren't prepared for that cold. A few snow fields to cross, fine, but actively snowing, nahhhh. I'm over that :)
I might try this hike again in the warmer weather, though there were a lot of people at the shooting ranges and that's just something that doesn't mix well with hiking, for me. Some pretty campsites along the river though, and it was beautiful up there.
The road had a few places with fallen rocks but we were able to navigate around easily enough. Make sure you have the directions pulled up though, because it's not totally clear and nothing is marked.
