Second time doing the west trail, started running into down trees about 4 miles up. The last 2 miles were a chore, many down trees to go over under or around, still snow at the top. I know the trail crews do the best they can. Still a great hike I started at 6:00am and never saw a person till coming back down, did see a porcupine and many elk tracks. It took me 7 hours round trip including lunch but I’m in pretty good shape. Finished with a lot of scrapes from down trees. Still a great hike but I prefer the east trail
