Based on trip reports, I parked my low-clearance wagon about a mile and a half from the trailhead. I probably could have gone farther, but the road was super pothole-ridden and I didn't mind the extra legwork - plus it put my mind at ease. The trailhead is a numbered post on the right-hand side, easy to not notice right away.
I didn't see a soul until I was over halfway, there was one family coming down. I took my time at the top - it was gorgeous and super clear. Two more pairs were ascending as I was starting my way down. Another family was starting the trail when I was exiting.
Sadly, I was the only one with a mask. The trail is narrow enough where you cannot socially distance effectively, so friendly reminder pull one up to be respectful of your fellow hikers.
Otherwise, about 45 minutes up, 30 minutes down trail proper, then whatever time it took to go to the car and back. It's a class switchback grind up, but the views are worth it.
