Of course the day I hiked Mt. Baden Powell the AC 100 Race was happening at the same time. I got there just in time 15 minutes before the Runners and most other people who wanted to park and it was full 2minutes later. I had no idea but the support staff informed me what was all that for. I had to move out of the way for the runners on the way up every now and then but onthe way back down i could barely make 5 steps without having to wait or move aside. It was fun anyways. I did it, despite all the waiting, in 3 hours with a little break on top. I wish that mountain would be this sideof the range, because it would be a great trainings hike if it weren't for the hour and a half drive through the curves. All in all great hike.
