https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/deer-ridge has a full description of the exact hike. You should have recently hiked a 3000' trail.
I scouted the trail on May 12th, there is no snow on the trail, the early mountain flowers are coming up and should be blooming: Grass Widows, phlox, pearly everlasting, and more. There are small buds on the rhodies, I can't predict these at all, we could see blooms.
