Beautiful day up on the mountain. Smoke wasn't too bad unless you were looking off to the southeast. Saw marmots, chipmunks, grouse and one bear! Fall colors are starting to arrive. A fair number of people on the trail today but still less crowded than a summer weekend. Just a short section of one lane traffic on SR706 but the wait was less than a minute each time. Parking at the main Paradise lot was still available when we arrived around 9:30AM. While fall colors may be coming out, it felt more like summer. Hot and dusty along the trail which has very few shady spots. But we'd do it again in a heartbeat.
