A beautiful hike. Wildflowers in bloom and lovely.
The road is suitable for all vehicles.
The hike begins with relatively steep switchbacks and doesn't let up.
Bugs were slightly annoying ~3 miles in. The trail continues from there as more of a climbers path that gets even steeper. There's a split in the climbers path where you should go up instead of continuing traversing - see photo. This ends up being an easier and safe route.
Views at the top were great. Getting to the very top required a snowfield crossing without exposure (I didn't have an ice axe and felt fine) and going up a bit of steep scree, below class 3.
