Trail is in very good shape. Only the last quarter mile or so nearest the summit had some (quite) slippery mud. |

Trail was certainly dog-friendly. Passed three groups with their pooches on the way down. |

| Comments: |
Peak was in the clouds, so no visibility not that Hale has a view anyway. Trail was in really good shape overall. No blowdown to navigate, no snow left, no ice. Occasional wet spots in the trail, but nothing of concern. Worst part was some slippery mud near the summit, but this wasn't deep nor a problem other than watching your step. |
