The hike is roughly estimated at 5 hours. It took roughly 3 hours to arrive at St. Mark's Peak, and 2 1/2 hours to return. The last 1km was covered in snow. The snow pack was probably 3-4 feet at the deepest locations. There were other sections covered in snow as well. You have to cross a shady looking bridge that is bit submerged in a swollen creek (due to snow melt). I would wait until August to hike the trail again. Were planing on going back, to catch the view.
