The first part of the hike was lovely and we enjoyed the lush foliage and flowers after all the rain this winter.  The last part of the hike quite steep but doable.  It is a popular hike, so we saw quite a few hikers, including a group of 20.  I don't know how they could all fit on the summit at the same time!  Nice views on the top.  On the way back, there were so many ladybugs in the air there was no room for the black flies that had annoyed us on the way up.  Overall, a hike of moderate difficulty, good signage, very enjoyable.  In hot weather, it would be more of a challenge.  Recommended!
