the trail is moderately steep with multiple switchbacks. we did the hike on 27august and it was pretty hot. fortunately the breeze at the top made the temperature quite nice. passed five groups of hikers. for a weekend thats not bad. road up to the trailhead with large potholes but passable by any vehicle. love the pass at teh top where you drop down onto the trail for tatoosh lake. on a weekday would be very 🥾🐻🍑 friendly. We brought our pooch and he loved the hike. two paws up.
