Labor Day long weekend (9/5-7). Spent 2 nights.
Day 1: Hiked to Jade Lake, 10.5 miles, 4500' elevation gain.

Condition: very dusty and busy. Some scramble above Marmot. But the trail is not hard to follow.
Day 2: Scrambled to Dip Top Peak. +1.5 miles RT, +1500' gain.

Condition: busy to the gap. Snow is soft enough that many people didn't use any traction devices. I used micro-spikes. I believe I was the only person who went all the way to the peak on Sunday. It's all scramble, on rocks. The top section is narrow and steep, requires caution. Not loose at least
Day 3: Hiked to Robin Lakes (didn't drop down to the lakes) +2 miles, +2500' gain. Very busy, steep, loose and dusty use trail. A bit confusing around Tuck Lake.

We started at Tucquala Meadows Trailhead in Cle Elum area. Robin Lakes and Dip Top share the first ~4 flat miles. TH had 67 cars when we left a little past 4pm on Monday.
Come here on a week day!
