A little smoky, but well worth it. I can't wait to go back when the smoke clears to see the rest. Started at Artist Point and went counter-clockwise like some suggest. While I was able to go down the endless stairs, it meant going up the long, gradual incline on the North side. Seemed like a good idea when looking at the map, though after an hour in the sun and smoke, exposed, I wish I had started at the ranger station and gone clockwise. Either way, this hike is spectacular. The above is just a suggestion for the next hikers. I highly recommend this hike.
