Road to TH is quite long. Some parts are paved or otherwise excellent condition, much less being ridden with potholes. Very passable by any car with careful driving.
Trail in excellent shape, 2 or 3 trees down across it but nothing concerning.
Pleasant hike that maintains a gradual elevation gain. I forgot my watch, but others recorded 11-12 miles and 3400-3600’ of gain. Cooler temps and spitting rain made this a very comfortable hike with proper gear. No snow present at the pass, likely to change daily at this point I’d assume. LOTS of mushrooms.
