The road to the South Parking area is closed, so we had to park in the South Lower Parking lot (which had no toilets). Not a lot of people there. Just a few mountain bikers, though we could hear the highway during most of our visit.
The trails are muddy--in some places very, very muddy. I kind of wish I'd brought my rain boots, though I was able to pick my way around the soggier patches.
The scenery isn't spectacular this time of year, but the pond was lovely, the view from the top satisfying (and on a clear day, I imagine would be gorgeous) and we saw an old steam shovel. It was a nice place to explore and get some fresh air.
I'm attaching a slightly fragmented Gaia GPS track of the walk.
