A gorgeous hike for a holiday weekend! The trail is in great shape, with only minor blowdowns and a couple inconsequential snow patches. The tread is good and the grade is nice and smooth.
The road has some medium ruts and potholes, but looked passable by most vehicles.
Great avalanche lilies on the lower parts of the trail. Buttercups and Shooting Stars are getting started in the meadows, with just the first painbrush peeking out. Looks like the lupine and paintbrush here will be spectacular in a couple weeks.
This trail had better views than I expected - several great ones of Adams through the meadows, and plenty more to be had wandering along the PCT.

There were definitely mosquitoes but it wasn't awful at all. With picaridin I got one bite. They're persistent in the meadows but not very many up on the PCT.
