Went up Elk Mountain today. It was a really hot, sunny day and the view was great with very little smog hanging over Chilliwack. I've been up in the past and have seen instances where the smog gets trapped in the valley, cloudy the view. There is no snow on the trail but a few patches of snow at the side of the trail on higher sections.
I'd wait a couple more weeks when the wild flowers start to bloom up high and all the colours come out.
