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.
What time does the parking lot open ? Their website says 8AM. But I read in couple of reviews saying it opens at 7. I am planning to be there my 6:30. In case the lot is not open is there any parking available near by ? Thanks

We arrived at 8 on a week day. I'm sure weekends are busier. The lot was filled soon after we arrived. Worth the effort and an early morning wake up call. Path is sandy. We took water shoes but didn't wear them.

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.
