Went out with a WTA day work party and spent the day putting in new check steps on a section of the trail about a mile up from the parking lot. The weather was gorgeous and not too hot - a welcome thing when working in the sun! - but the trail was pretty dusty. Bugs were not a big issue and the wildflowers were super. :) The trail itself is very busy and the parking lot, while not full when I got there at 8 am, was packed when we returned around 2:30 pm. The line for the bathroom was long, so prepare for that if you need to go!
All in all a nice place to be if you don't mind a crowd.
