Great trail! As of August 22, there were a few trees to go under or over, but nothing serious. The trail was snow-free and the road was suitable for all vehicles, with no bugs reported. The summit views are amazing, especially from the rocky overlook accessible via a short spur trail to the right of the former lookout, offering views of Mt. Adams, Goat Rocks, and Mt. Rainier.

Didn’t get to the trailhead- there is an impassible log across the road- if someone has a chainsaw they can bring up to cut it out that would be sweet! Otherwise road is in great condition.
