My dad and I left the parking lot around 3 PM and headed up the Mt. Dickerman trail. The first miles of trail were clear of snow; we had to climb over about five downed trees, none of them very large. The snow began at around 4300 feet and was fairly constant from then on, although sections of bare trail appeared here and there all the way to the summit. A few hundred feet of trail were covered in running water from snowmelt, but not enough to be a problem if you're wearing good boots.
The snow was fairly soft and we both punched through more than a few times. This was probably exacerbated in the late afternoon on a warm day, but whenever you do it I would recommend wearing gaiters and paying attention near the edges of snowfields to avoid obvious overhangs.
Most of the track was easy to follow, either through a clear trail or bootprints in the snow, but we did get off a couple of times. Watch out for switchbacks as the snowfields begin.
We summited at 6:30 and were out by 8:45, still with light enough to see the trail—the beauty of an afternoon hike in June!
