Didn’t see anyone else there today. What a wonderful trail. Walked from the Capitol Peak parking area. The trail stays on a ridge crest nearly the whole way. Great views of Capitol and eastward, spectacular wild flowers, minimal water though there was a small snowfield at the top. This trail is nearly straight and therefore quite steep. It makes a no nonsense ascent to the pass. There are trees almost all the way to the top, it’s pretty well protected if the weather deteriorates. I thought it was a blast.
