Adventure w/ youngest (5yo). We drove up the day before with the intent of spending a night with the grasshoppers. Approach was too sketch for my 2WD vehicle, so we opted for the trailhead, which was very windy until 10pm. According to my car's thermometer it dropped down to 32F just before sunrise... brr. Fire bans (and common-sense) meant no warming campfires, so we did an early start to keep shivers at bay.

Trail was in great shape. Flowers were popping and the bees were busy busy busy. Off-trail section is well-traveled to a fault - there are a few options to choose from and too many competing cairns. Daughter struggled on the final leg and was ecstatic to reach the summit. Descent moved quick. Two other vehicles at the trailhead when we finished up, tho I'm guessing both headed south.

Road is in great shape, no issues.
