Started around noon on Saturday and found the trailhead surprisingly empty. (There were plenty of cars, but with the nice weather I thought it would be packed.) I was also surprised to see more people coming out from overnight trips on Friday than there were going in on Saturday.
My plan was to hike as far as I could with daylight or until I hit snow. I ended up stopping around the 10 mile mark since it didn't look like there would be many good camping spots until I made it to Ingalls Lake (which was a bit more effort than I was looking for.)
I met a guy that had a couple of huge saws with him and he was clearing blowdowns. The trail was totally clear until mile 10 but the blowdowns picked up quite a bit after that.
The trail was in great shape and every creek along the way had dry crossings.
