I recognize this is a popular trail, but I encountered the worst of the worst today. Dog poop in the middle of the trail. Multiple dogs off leash. Music blasting on speakers. A child (maybe 8 years old?) left alone and unattended at the second viewpoint while her parents continued on to the summit without her, who nervously asked me to stay with her awhile.
Alright, I'll stop ranting. I arrived at the trailhead around 9 am and there were plenty of parking spots open. When I arrived back at my car around noon, the lot had filled up considerably. The trail was in good condition and there were a sprinkling of flowers blooming at the top. It was completely foggy at the summit this morning but the views from the lower viewpoints were still worth the climb.
