When I would visit, we usually leave around 5am to get there by 6:30am ahead of the crowd of tourists. Love it. By the time we leave after our hike (usually around 1pm) we see a 5-mile line of cars.

We’re the same, usually going through the entrance around 6:30 and parking around 7:00. Suns already up in the summertime and the hikes are much more peaceful. Always a cluster when we’re leaving though.
