First part of the hike was easy and I enjoyed hearing the streams as it was very calming. It snowed lightly about 1 mile before the saddle and it got really cold but as soon as you reached the saddle and continue to the peak, the sun was out and it got a lot warmer. There was a big group on the way to the saddle but after that it became less crowded. Had to take more rests than usual but overall, the view was worth it. Additionally, there was a cloud inversion which made the view even more amazing. It was really nice to chill and rest on the top since it wasn't as crowded as other peaks, very peaceful. The hike back down was easy at first then got harder since your legs are getting more tired but I'm glad it I did it!
