This was hike #3 since injuring my hip and it felt great to handle 1300ft elevation gain with the hip splint on.  I've included 4min of video highlights below..

Trailhead: Arrived around 8am and lot was full with 2 of us parked on roadside.  When I returned cars were parked along the side of the road a long way.  Get there early! Kiosk and trail signs are excellent.

Wildflowers: I saw serviceberry, Indian paintbrush, saxifrage, cliff penstemon and Blue-eyed Mary (I think) blooming.

Trail: everyone was friendly, all dogs were leashed until the balcony and the trail work done by WTA was phenomenal!  Lots of switchbacks interspersed with stretches of flat trail.
