I started in afternoon, so during ascent it was quite hot but descent was quite chilly since it was almost sunset. The trail conditions were quite smooth, spotted lots of different wild flowers.
Since this was weekday, almost no traffic or parking issue just couple of fellow bikers. The view from the top as well as the history was quite lovely and breathtaking. Learning about Native tribes as well as defense during cold war was quite nice read.
Overall quite a good start to challenge
