Hiked this big guy on 9/8/14. The swarms of mosquitoes from previous reports didn't materialize (not complaining here). The temps was a bit chilly but still warm enough to go with just an underlayer and a long sleeve shirt over. I pulled out my light down jacket once at the top for lunch. The snow from previous reports had mostly melted except for a few very very small patches on the top. The trail was 99% dry with a couple wet patches near the snow. The wind was low and the the clouds moved in later in the day. Great hike as the aspens are just about to change over to gold. It's not too late to get one more peak in this season :-)
