Advice from people who have done it
Get there as early as possible: entry closes before noon and you have to be back down by mid-afternoon, so it's best to start at 7. Plan for a full day for the activity and don't underestimate the descent, which is hard on the knees. Bring all the water you'll need from the base, because none is available up top, and check updated prices and hours before you go, as they vary by season.
