My fiancee and I did this hike a few weeks ago (early Sept '16). The trail is steep and has narrow switchbacks in a way that is appropriately challenging for the first half mile. After that, it hugs against the mountainside, but the trail degrades significantly. In a few areas you can see that slides have wiped out parts of the trail and you have to be careful with your footing or risk a nasty fall. The view is stunning and the vertical will make you break a nice sweat, but personally I'll wait until the park service repairs the trail before venturing up there again. But there are a other great trails in the area and the drive is indeed gorgeous!
