The rain held off, but most of the hike was in the clouds so I was damp anyway. I'll have to do this one again when I can actually see things.

I've never seen Humphreys that crowded, there were queues for the steep and rocky sections. There probably were 40 people at the saddle, and over 30 at the summit. There are quite a few snow patches left on the trail below the saddle, but they're all hard-packed and muddy, and probably will be gone within days if the current temperatures keep up. No snow above the saddle until the final section before the summit, and that likely won't last more than two weeks.

Do not do this hike in trail runners, cactus spines go right through the sides of them. There are only occasional hints of a trail once you reach the grassy part, and prickly pear likes to hide below the grass so it's hard to see. Sparsely placed cairns help, but there were some sections that had none (or I was far enough off 'trail' to miss them). I would not recommend doing this trail unless you have a GPS w/ track or are very comfortable blazing your own trail. It's an excellent workout, though, with great views from several points on the way.
