LONG. Perfect weather, almost no wind (or wind chill). I was comfortable hiking in a t-shirt pretty much the whole way. If anything, it actually got quite warm (almost hot) on the more exposed sections. Most of the trail is well maintained without too much loose gravel or stones (compared to some of the other six pack trails), but near the top, there are still sections of the trail covered by snow, so you need to be prepared to navigate through those, or nimble enough to scamper around them. I pretty much free-lanced the last quarter mile or so, because the trail was lost to me. Well-rewarded with amazing views, not only the summit but throughout. Make sure to HYDRATE!
