We arrived at the parking lot at 11:30am and it was almost full. Plenty of spaces to park if the lot is full.
Trail was in good condition all the way to the dome. Very windy and cold at the top. If you plan to climb to the top, bring an extra coat.
Three bags of dog poop were left behind. We picked it up for you, since you couldn’t be bothered to do it yourself. You and your dog packed it in, you need to pack it out.

You are a saint for picking up those poop bags. People need to stop leaving poop bags on the trail. It's not OK even if you "plan" to pick it up on the way out. Seeing a poop bag is a total buzz kill for other hiker trying to get a nature fix.
Bagging poop and carrying it out is great. If you don't intend to carry the poop bag then don't bag it. Much better to burry it. Dog poop is biodegradable. Plastic is not!
