Shuttled a car to just below the first road crossing, since the upper-most gate was locked. Peddled up the last section of road, enjoyed the view, then rode the Suntop trail. Some of the tight switchbacks were a little dusty and loose, but overall the trail was in good shape. No trees over the trail. Great day to be out. FYI when we went back later to pick up our car, the upper-most gate was open.
