First timers on this loop and we decided on clockwise and we were very happy with our choice.
We arrived around 7 and there was a decent amount of parking available which is always a total bonus.
About 1 mi. In we encountered a bee's nest in a log across the trail, so be mindful of that.
Weather was absolutely perfect and the views the entire way were extraordinary.
I kept saying, there's no words to describe the beauty of this hike.. so really it's a "you just got to see it."
There were plenty of happy hikers, but it never felt busy or rushed.
Colors are starting to pop!
10/10 recommended.
