Did the full 6 mile loop starting at the interpretive center. The gate is locked but you can park outside of it along the road, no pass needed for approx another 2 weeks after checking with the ranger on the phone when I left my forest pass at home. Entire loop trail is snow free including out to windy point. Had a nice lunch break on top of the snow shed with the stairs, the only snow shed that is safe to climb on top of. It rained off and on but could see the mountains nearest without issue. Saw no one, lovely day.
Normally the lower half is wheelchair and stroller friendly but there are 2 places close together where a large tree has fallen across. It's not far from the largest bridge near the twin tunnels. They are easy enough to step over but would be a barrier to anything on wheels.
