Elk + Thurston on Saturday

I see the time conflict with Chief hike, but still want to suggest. Who knows, someone else may agree.
Elk-Thurston Trail:
Total Distance: 14.6 km (return)
Estimated Time: 7 hours
Elevation Gain: 996 m (practically should be more, since go up, then down, then up again)
Start Elevation: 630 m
Max Elevation: 1626 m

Expected conditions: some snow from the lookout on Elk, probably more onward. I'll take microspikes just in case.
Haven't been there, but roughly twice more than Chief I guess.
Honest warning: I haven't done practically anything for half a year and will not go fast, but plan to go all the way to Thurston.
P.S. It wouldn't make it an easy hike though.
