Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal

Beautiful day was forecast for this Friday and many folks had the same idea as me. I'd never seen this parking lot full to overflowing on a weekday before. I counted 20 cars in the lot and down the road when I headed up (kinda late in the morn) at 10:45am. Trail's in excellent shape, and essentially dry. Some rhodies putting on a bloomin' show along the lower mile or so of trail. Only two small snow patches remain on trail above Windy Camp. No blowdowns. Views from the top were great.
