We started just before 8am and had no issue parking. First part of the hike was easy then it got harder as we got closer to the false peaks. We took our time and reached Strawberry Peak in 2hr20mins. It was bit crowded at the top but still plenty of space for every to relax and have a bite to eat in the few shades spots.
Then picture at the top without the sign as we could not find it and finally down to the parking lot in 1h40mins. It gets a bit slippery at time so poles can help.
Bugs were a bit of problem when we stopped but they did not bother us at the peak.
Beautiful views at the top: Mt Baldy still covered with snow and the LA downtown area although in fog (or pollution).
2nd peak down!
