Trail was snow-free, it was damp but traction was still good, no slippery mud after a dry Friday. There was a small creek flowing at 1000 feet where the rock was a bit wet.
No traffic driving to TH, there were plenty of parkings spots when we arrived at 8am. The parking lot was full at 11:00 am and the road was quite busy.
We maintained a comfortable pace, stayed close and let other group pass. Everybody did fantastic job hiking as a team and minimizing impact.
Headed out at 8:15 am; reached Poo Poo Point (North Launch) at 9:45 am, after a short photo break at South Launch; returned to TH at 11:00 am. We let handful people pass uphill and I loose count of people passing on the way down. The morale was high nevertheless.
Watch out for a sparkling tree covered by Christmas lights and ornaments!
