Forest road passable by all vehicles however riddled with potholes. Parking lot in good condition, toilet closed/locked. My group arrived around 0900, there were around 5 or 6 cars already parked which I presumed had well begun their trip. This seemed to be a sweet spot.
We began hiking around 0930 from the upper trailhead. We completed our summit at 1100. On our ascent, we encountered 2 others but it was for the most part completely clear. There was no snow/ice coverage until the summit or just before the summit, and the north peak was completely clear. No traction devices needed. The summit provided great views of Mt. Constance, Mt. Deception, Warrior Peak, and Mt. Mystery.
On our descent, there were many other people on the trail. By the time we returned around 1200, the parking lot was overflowing and people were parking out on the road. The parking lot is not sufficient for more than 8 cars.
