Road - really great all the way
Trailhead - plenty of parking, toilet in good shape and stocked with tp
Trail - really rough on a hot day up through about 1.6 miles with major overgrowth that is stiff and dry now, shredding legs through pants. Clears up a bit and one more bad patch before finally clearing after 2 miles. After that trail is beautiful as you leave the burn area and gain shade, but trail also steepens then. Water as trail moves toward creek at 2.6 miles. As advertised, all roads lead to summit once you get to opposite side of lake. Worth knowing you can’t actually see the summit from the lake, but go towards rounded summit in the background and you’ll get there.
11.1 miles, 5,050 gain, 4:40
