Windy day to get to the top, but no snow or traction needed.

Trail is in great condition with nearly no route finding needed up until the very top, which becomes a bit of a choose your own adventure scramble if you happen to lose the trail for a minute. But there are well marked posts to guide you.

There is a stream if you need water for the final ~2.75 mile climb back up the pass and to the lot to wrap up the day. The final 1000+ ft of climbing after the end of an already long hike is a slog, but should take most people around 45 minutes to reach the top of the pass, and from there it's all downhill.

Roughly 6 hours round trip.
