8am start on a Monday, so parking was easy to attain. A few other hikers were out there in the morning, but there were a lot more by early afternoon when we were on the descent to our cars. We were happy that we left when we did.
For naturalists, there was a lot of bear grass to see especially around the lake. The trail had the normal rocky sections so nothing different there. As for bugs, there were some mosquitoes and a few of those biting black files but not as bad as it can be. Having a light-weight, long-sleeve shirt shirt for the lunch break along with pants (vs shorts) helped minimize the bites.
There is work on I-90, but at that hour there were no slow downs.
