Summer TH accessible with no snow, very bumpy. We drove a jeep compact SUV with ok clearance. I wouldn't have wanted to drive my Kia Spectra up that road. The summer TH parking lot was pretty full on this Friday morning, but we got a spot. Started on the trail at 7:20. Went up the south slope initially on accident, summited Torreys a little after 10, then over to Grays to summit a little after 11. Snow was firm, rarely broke through it (more so as it got later in the day), I'd say it's along less than half the route. I didn't wear spikes because I forgot them, but I wouldn't have used them anyway. Came down on the Gray's and Torrey's route. We were at the car at 2ish. I think it took us longer to get down because of the indirect route. Saw some adorable mountain goats. Blue skies and clear in the morning, with clouds rolling in on our trip down (white fluffy clouds mostly).
