Started hiking around 9 am, and the parking lot was already pretty full. By the time I got back to the trailhead, it was a zoo. Trail was in good condition and easy to follow the whole way up. There was snow on the trail about 1/4 of the way up, but it wasn't that difficult. I wasn't wearing microspikes for the ascent, and neither were most of the people that I saw. I put them on for the trip back down, but that might have been overkill on my part.
Overall it was an awesome hike with amazing views from the summit, even if it was a little crowded.
