Similar to other recent reports. Road is fine for most vehicles. Arrived Saturday, 9am and the lower trailhead parking area was already pretty full. Clear and crisp day, great visibility gets more people out. The forest section isn't too bad, your quads may burn a little more through the rocky area and upper section to the peak. There were four of us and we had a few stops along the way up so it took us about 3 hours up. It was like a party at the top, maybe 20 people at 12:30pm. Not much room for many more. We all had beverages and snacks while taking in the 360-degree view. The hike down was obviously quicker, less than 2 hours. A bit harder on the knees. Also, I would say 3 out of 4 hikers brought their dogs. Shout out to the trail volunteers for hauling their "ark" of supplies up the trail. Thanks guys!
