I could not agree more with the September season being choice (I am too lazy to do the lottery, so walk-in is my method). Unless a person enjoys high fiving others on the switchbacks every two seconds (not!!! unless it is CatPappy passing by) the further you get away from summer, the better. I have never been on the mountain during high season (out of two times) and I STILL thought that the place was over-crowded (hey, I am spoiled; I am used to seeing one or two people at the most)
The body betrays and the weather conspires, hopefully, not on the same day.
