I love this hike and have done it twice now in two years, both in peak season. Peepers tend to stay on the top part of the pass, I personally like going to the Jefferson Lake area and starting from there. You have to pay to get in (~$7), but it is a lot less crowded on weekends. There is camping available although the spots have always been full when I was there. I have always gone late Late September or Early October and have never been disappointed that is for sure.
