Pretty busy, but worth it
Hiked with my fiancee (now wife!) and it was a crowded trail but it was a weekend. Hit on a weekday and you'll probably be fine. Sweet views.

Way too crowded
This is a nice, easy trail with a big view pay off at the top. It was insanely busy though. I felt like I was on an ant hill. Entirely too crowded (with many hikers who didn't seem to be very acquainted with trail etiquette). But the views from the top are lovely. It's worth it to head a little ways up the trail to the middle or upper ledge. It's much quieter up there with even better views.

Volunteer
Climbed during a volunteer trail work party with the Mountains-to-Sound Greenway. I recommend doing these once in a while to give a deeper appreciation for these amazing trails :)
Easy hike close to Seattle. Fun if you want to get out for a quick hike with a decent view.

Fun quick hike
Very windy on the ledges. We then continued on the trail all the way to the other side of the mountain. Came this close to needing snowshoes, but the snow was iced over just enough to not need them.

View and lunch
Quick little hike with a big reward of views. Was a clear day, and couldn't have been more pretty. Quite a few people on the ledges even on a weekday.

Rattlesnake Ledge
It was a great hike nice view of lake and surrounding mountains. Trail was way to crowded with people (I felt like i was at Wal-Mart). It is the top 10 most popular hikes in Washington.

Rattlesnake ledgeMakes for a great trail run, or you can do the whole of the ridge and make a day out of it

Good RunDespite the wind, rain, and low visibility there was still a good number of hikers out today. Trail was in good condition.
