Not too many cars in parking lot at 8am start on an overcast Thursday. Trail is in great shape with not downed trees or puddles to deal with.
We saw less than 10 people on or way up and maybe 25 on way down which it the least amount I have ever seen on Rattlesnake Ledge hikes. We encountered 2 people at the lower ledge and had the upper ledge to ourselves. Unfortunately, we were clouded in and had little to no view.
