Worth the hike worth the traffic. The trail can be a bit busy. But that was part of the joy. I met amazing people who were so kind and encouraging. I didn't make it to the summit. The last few hundred feet are seriously intense. I made it to about 150-200 below the summit. The climb gets harder the farther you go and everyone said the last push has some large boulders to climb and I decided I was done. Regardless the challenge was exhilarating, the views were spectacular and the people were charming. My advice would be to pace yourself and listen to your body... and your fears.
