Going at that time, you would catch a good number of northbounders gearing up for their final push and a good number of southbounders who would just be starting to hit their stride. Both groups would be appreciative as the northbounders likely wouldn't have seen that sort of thing in a while and southbounders tend not to see that sort of thing much at all. It would also be a cool area for you to hike if you got a chance to stretch your legs.
