Took tram to stop 9. Switchbacks immediately were a little rough due to the quick summer heat even at 9 am. Great hike, the pool itself was incredibly inviting. Saw few other hikers on the trail, and none were actually at Hutch's pool. Ate lunch and lounged on the sandy beach. Made awesome time on the way back, as we did't think we'd actually catch the last tram back (4:30 pm). Not too warm or muggy. Well-kept trail.
