It was a gorgeous hike with wildflowers blooming everywhere, bumble bees and stunning butterflies. The views of the mountains were picturesque. The park maintenance staff has done such a good job maintaining the trail, given that it is not a popular trail, and we saw very few people at Tronsen Ridge.
The hike itself is doable but there are two key issues to take note of: The road to the Northern trailhead needs high clearance- it's covered with rocks and potholes and can be unnerving to drivers who haven't driven in such conditions such as myself. Secondly, even a bit of rain can cause flooding. It was a pretty sunny day but just a 15min drizzle caused a few pot holes to be flooded with water, causing driving across them to be a pain.
As such, monitor the weather conditions conscientiously and do not go there on a rainy day. This is a wonderful hike but is only meant to be done on sunny days.
