Hiked this morning with the hound. Probably not true for long but as of today its bone dry from right before the turnoff for Pratt Lake which works out to about 6.5 dry miles so some extra water for a dog is recommended. Especially, if hauling up a gassed hiker like mine was doing.
The fall colors are looking great in the "meadow" areas and overall the trail is in great shape even if the rock hopping can feel a little repetitive. The views of Rainier and other further peaks were very indistinct due to haze but the nearer views are still spectacular.
