Got started from Montezuma Pass around 0730 and headed north on the Crest Trail. The trail was damp from rain either yesterday or overnight, but not muddy. Cool, cloudy, and occasionally breezy. Nice views in all directions, and fun to see all the mines.

Some deadfall just south of the junction with Lutz Canyon Trail, but there’s already a detour developing just above the trail. The trail is in mostly decent shape, with minimal vegetation encroaching. The Miller Peak Trail is a little more overgrown, but not too bad.

Cool and breezy at the summit, where we took a lunch break before retracing our steps back down. Saw two other hikers as we were leaving the summit, but that was it for the day. Nice hike and good workout.
