Two stream crossings to manage if you walk the road, one can be rock-hopped on 1-2" submerged rocks, the other has a detour path to a set of logs crossing the stream. Crossing at the upper TH is also on a series of water surface-level rocks. Trail is in good shape. 2 minor snowfields to cross on the upper traverse, not going to be around too much longer, but also easily crossed without traction. Descended the East Ridge of Peak 10 which had a couple minor snowfields to manage up high but otherwise was pretty straight-forward.
