This is a very crowded trail. We hiked the loop clockwise on Monday, saw many people going the opposite direction.
I tried to scramble to Frisco, but abandoned it before the drop.
Current conditions:
lots of glacier lily, and still coming.
snow on trail. Some folks were not comfortable on the snowy slope, despite of the well-established boot track. You may want to wait for the opposite traffic, if you are not comfortable on snow. Bring spikes.
mosquitos
Very pretty with snow still on most peaks.
