I can't remember how long we were out there but there were sections that were covered in ice that slowed us down a lot. Under normal conditions at a leisurely pace and stopping regularly to take in the endless sites/beauty I would say a minimum of 3 hours.

Arriving at 6 AM is highly recommend this time of year. There are several parking spaces outside the gates, which means you don’t have to wait for the attendant. His name is Bill if you meet him - very nice guy.
