My second visit. The first was in January when the place was easily accessible with a minimum of tourists. I also visited with my partner last week. I guess my advice would be to never go there during the summer. There are no signs informing you that parking up at the Observatory lot is full, and the park rangers are extremely rude. This is not the way to welcome visitors to your city, state or country.

The views and programs are amazing. The traffic and crowding was overwhelming.
