Arrived at the trailhead at 9 am expecting a weekend crowd......no one....nice. Escorted two friends to the top, had a great time, could see rain showers around the valley but we were dry. Ate lunch....read some mail....took some photos and returned with no problems. I thought we were late, as we returned, three groups of two headed up at 3 pm. Not a bad rush hour. Picketpost is always a good workout.
