If you do this hike on a weekend start EARLY! I left the peak around 8:20 and I passed 30 hikers in the first half mile. I was lucky enough to have to peak all to myself for about 2 minutes.
Bugs were only bad if you stopped, which gives you good motivation to keep moving. Took me about 4.5 hours round trip.
Lesson learned from this hike – even if it's a cloudy day the sun might be out at the top of the mountain.
