Ran this trail today. Not too busy, passed a few locals walking their dogs. A couple good spots for a picnic or camping, and a few mud puddles with all of the recent rain. Didn't need 4x4 at all on this trail, but it's pretty.

Beautiful views, easy to navigate. 4 Hi, no issues. Short trip - in and out - plenty of time to find another when done

The trail is in great condition. Most of the mud and water has dried up. If you are looking for a quick and easy trail not far from the front range, this is always a winner. No campers and not much vehicle traffic. Later in the season it becomes busy and packed with campers/hikers as it's easily accessible with most vehicles. I have even seen a few mini vans at the top. There are hidden views all over if you take the time to get out of your vehicle and explore.
