Arrived after 10AM, ample parking in the closest free lot. Several groups of tourists, friends and couples were at the upper viewpoints for photo ops. There is a sign at the trailhead explaining the elevation change and steepness of the trail, warning that people sometimes hike down but can't get back up the trail.
There is a bathroom at the top and another halfway down the hill at a lower parking lot. I only saw a service truck in that parking lot so it might not be open to the public, I expect they need it to service the lower bathroom and to collect people who can't make it up the hill. The bathroom at the lower lot has multiple stalls and running water (not an outhouse). It was clean and serviceable.
PSA to people bringing friends/coworkers here or taking a girl on a date here... please kindly inform them before the trip that they will be hiking up a hill. It is important to wear hiking shoes or comfortable sneakers, eat a good meal and hydrate for this hike. It may be short, but the hill climb back is very steep. Go at your own pace. I saw at least one couple where there was a guy in sneakers walking down the hill with a girl who was dressed for a day at the mall in high-heeled boots. Don't do this to a girl on a date, please.
Twenty years ago I was dragged down this trail unprepared for a group activity and it wasn't fun climbing back up. Knowing this, I went prepared this time, despite being more out of shape. I brought one bottle of Smartwater, trekking poles, a granola bar and jerky. Took the hill climb at a casual pace while carrying on a conversation and it was a pleasant climb. I liked having the trekking poles on the descent and the climb back. Lots more tourists coming down the trail on the way back up, don't expect anyone to know trail-passing etiquette, but the trail is wide enough to be two lanes so it wasn't a big deal. Left around noon and the closest free parking lot was nearing capacity by then.
