We arrived at 7:45am and didn't have any issue finding parking, although the lots were filling up. We hiked up to The Notch then came down Baldy Bowl trail. It was long and hot! It was slow-going coming down Baldy Bowl as it's pretty steep with a lot of lose rock. Going clock-wise on this loop would have been a better idea. My wife and I each went through 3L of water, so make sure you bring plenty.

Well done! I originally hiked this counter clockwise like you did, but agree the CCW is much better. Plus you can take a break and get water at The Notch on the way back, when you really need it!
