| Comments: |
Trail is easily followed and hiked; a few minor patches of mud and a few short stretches with water running down the trail but all easily navigated. Trail is a bit damp for stretches on the switchbacks but will likely dry out soon. Only a few minor patches of snow on the switchbacks that are easily crossed and will be gone shortly. Great day out - had the trail and summit all to myself - amazing views from the top and there is a good view of Washington on the way up the switchbacks at a blowdown patch. A nice set of cascades on the lower stretch of the trail. |
