Trip report by Andy Jaynes who reports that the Fourth of July trail has wildflowers and some bootpack snow at the top.

The trail is steep but the views at the top are well worth the hike.  Fourth of July trail is approximately 10 1/2 miles and tops out at 7000 feet in elevation. 

Andy reported a time of 3 hours and 47 minutes from trailhead to top.  Because the trail is exposed in places and south facing, it’s a great one to hit up early in the morning.  Bring lots of water and enjoy the 360 degree panorama from the top of Icicle Ridge!
