Beautiful hike especially in the late August when the trees are changing color. The 1.5 hour one way time listed here is very optimistic and reserved for athletes. I've only ever completed the trail to the half way location, the actual Kings throne, which took over two hours. At that location I have met young folks who are returning from the top and claim they got to the top in about 1.5 hours but I think they must have run rather than walk. The section of trail I've experienced is steep with a lot of turns and very loose gravel. For most people I would guess the time to the top from Kathleen lake is three to four hours.
