Also on this hike
Sunny day with some heavy winds on top of the peak. Started at 6 am and made it the top after the endless switchback at 9:30.
Met 13 other people along the trail and the wild flowers are in bloom. The last 2 miles to the trailhead is unmaintained road/wash that rough and rocky. Would recommend a high clearance vehicle but 4×4 is not needed.
I liked this peak. Lots of of wildflowers, but not nearly as much shade as one of the guides I read said there would be, so smart move starting early!
