Awesome hike on a sunny Sunday. The view at one of the look outs is just astonishing.

Spring morning, 42F, cloudy, and a bit drippy, though the rain had already moved away to the east for the most part. There were a few sections of cloud on the drive, and in fact one very large (though white) clump of cloud hanging directly over Poo Poo Point. :] Conditions were acceptable on the ascent, good enough footing, and the trail was mostly empty.

3.85mi 540m

Lots of people on the trail at all times, I saw 1 group every minute or two. Overall, the trail is in great condition, but near the peak, the gravel gets pretty loose and "slippery", be careful about that.

Reached the trail around 7:15 AM, had to park out on the road. Beautiful day & clear skies - only saw about 20 people heading up but over 50 when heading down. First mile of the climb is pretty rocky and the second mile levels off making it much easier to run up to the top.

With the clear skies it was super easy to see Mt. Rainer and the rest of the stunning highlights. You could also head over to the other side of the point (0.1 miles) and see the Mt. Baker + Lake Sammamish direction. Also wow that high school is massive. Took us about 45 minutes to run up and maybe 50 minutes to descend at a slower pace due to the rockiness and tons of people.

Loved the trail, tons of friendly people & a small amount of leashed dogs! We had our 60 lb. german shepard mix with us and there were times we had to pull over to let folks pass, but overall the trail after the first mile is plenty wide!

good luck out there!

Sky's first hike with elevation and she did great.  The air quality today is exceptional.  The trail is in very good shape.
