Summited w/ my son from Winter Creek Trail (clockwise) to the peak in 3.40  (6.5 mi). The poodle-dog bush (notable for secreting a severe skin irritant) is tall and near the trail edge at some parts, other than that really nice hike with tons of wildflowers, birds, squirrels and chipmunks! Details: Got to the trailhead by 6:30 (Thursday) and the parking lot was empty with only one other car.  Only saw one person on the trail on the way to the top. The Peak was empty and the quad closed off d/t covid. Coming down Sturtevant by the falls was really busy with a lot of families visiting the falls.  7.3 mi back to the car, 6.18 total time. Great day!! Lots of annoying bugs, don't forget the bug spray.
