Beautiful hike with low hanging clouds in the morning but cleared up to sunshine once we cleared the switch backs. Saw 5+ marmots and a bunch of chipmunks on the trail. I recommend using a higher clearance or AWD/4WD vehicle for getting up to this trail head. ~10 miles is on gravel with some of the road getting a bit bumpy. A FWD vehicle could probably make it but not recommended if avoidable.
You won't find parking at the trail head if you arrive after 8:30am. You'll have to park along the road.
Trail can get pretty busy on the weekends. I highly recommend going past Cascade Pass up to Doubtful Lake, stunning view of the glacier!!
