Nice hike, perfect day. Started at 730A and had to park up the street as the lot was already full. The hike up to the Icehouse saddle was relatively easy going and paralleled the creek bed. There were several other hikers but did not run into congestion. Past the saddle, the remaining 2.5mi, other hikers were few and far between. The north side of the mountain had several patches of snow that covered the trail and made identifying switchbacks very difficult. A few areas were difficult to navigate but poles helped a lot. The Summit was beautiful with vast views although there was haze in the distance.

Time to Summit: 4hrs

Total hike time: 8hrs
