I did this hike on a Saturday and arrived at about 8am. There was only one other car there. When you plug Hex into google maps it takes you to a private road turn off with multiple signs saying no parking. There is a place to park off the road a bit further down and we didn’t realize that so we risked it on the private road. When we got back to the car at around 11:30 there were about 7 other cars parked all over the no parking area (some blocking the service road gate as well) so I could see the owners getting annoying and towing all the cars. I wouldn’t park there again, just park down the road and walk to the turn off. There is also no trail marker at the start so we weren’t sure this was the right place but we just started walking up. It’s a fairly steep hike on a service road so it was very dusty and a lot of gravel. I slipped a couple times on the way down because of how steep and dry the ground was. There are a couple forks in the road and you pretty much just stay to the right. It was a beautiful view when you reached the summit.
