Started at 7am from the 850 overflow lot. Sadly there was trash in the bowl and swastikas carved in one of the portable toilets. I didn't check the second one, but hopefully it was better. When I got to the trailhead, I saw there was parking available alongside the 851 road if you were willing to drive up past the trailhead and walk back down, so that's a potential option if there are no spaces below. Trail is dry all the way. As always on Quandary, make sure your hat is pulled on snug. I was lucky to pick a day with only light to moderate winds, but a few people still had their hats blown off at the summit. A few goats (adults and kids) were on or near the trail above treeline.
