We arrived to the full parking lot a little after 11:00 on a Saturday morning, and lucked out finding a spot as someone was leaving. There are restrooms with running water and soap at the trailhead.
We hiked the more difficult trail up and the Hardy Ridge trail down. It was quite steep up, and there are several stretches of goopy, sinking mud, including on the stairs, so be mindful of that. We summited Hamilton, but surprisingly, the views weren't as good there as other Vista points, namely the views at the saddle.
