Started just before dawn (5:30 AM) which is a perfect time to start this time of year. Parking is easy along the road before the parking lot opens. Was in the marine layer clouds a little past halfway up, nice cool breeze up at the top but could tell it was getting hot on the way down. Just over 4 hours total time, little breaks for pictures of flowers and the view.

Trail is as described, feels like uphill both ways. Not too terribly difficult for moderate fitness, be sure to start early and bring plenty of water (4L).
