We started on the trail just after 6am Saturday morning. The creek crossing is a little confusing, go towards the fallen branches on the other side and you'll see a cairn once you're on the other side. The boulders near the summit are all walkable but it gets steep rather quickly followed by sandy terrain just before the top. On our way up we saw a man's dog chasing a mountain goat off the summit, that was an insane sight to behold! Luckily the dog turned around before getting into a rough spot. The summit conditions were perfect, very little wind, great views of Huron and the Three Apostles. It took us about 5 hours to get up and 3.5 to get down at a leisurely pace. There is still very little snow on the trail, it was a high of 72 on Saturday
