Effectively nobody on the summit due to the road being closed. I had the summit to myself for 10 minutes. Very, very windy. On descent to Guanella Pass I had no trouble locating and staying on the small trail through the willows that gives access from the descent gully back to the Bierstadt trail. Very mucky in parts but fairly wide. No bushwachking necessary. That being said, long sleeves and pants are a must to make sure overhanging branches on the trail don't scratch you up.
