We started from Chuckanut Drive around 9am. There were at least two pairs of men’s underwear scattered on the side of the trail—seemed weird. Passed just a handful of groups on the way up, and had the top to ourselves briefly. The views were completely masked by the fog.
A group of about 10 adults arrived at the top. They were yelling back and forth as the rest of their group arrived, and once they did, they started playing music on their phone speaker and singing loudly. Honestly quite disruptive, and I’ll never understand why people feel the need to play music out loud on trails. On our way down, the same group of people were running down and cutting all of the switchbacks as they screamed at each other, which I hated even more than the music. I thought about confronting them but didn’t. There were even signs to stay on trail, but clearly they didn’t care. Please be better than these people.
We also saw two people riding mountain bikes near the last stream crossing (of very little water) before the top. Garmin clocked the distance at 7.1 miles rt and 2,100 ft elevation gain.
