Hike to the Top of Table Rock

05/31/16

The sign at the trail head calls the hike a climb, I would call it a scramble. We opted for the "straight up the hillside" trail v the less vertical trail across from Basalms. It took about 30 minutes to summit, lots of verifying hand holds and foot placement before committing to the step. The shale made going down a little sketchy in places. The summit was worth the short climb, stunning 360° views. Enough space to sit and enjoy for several small groups. We weren't planning to hike the day we came across the trail, so I wore jeans and tractionless minimalist tennis shoes. A flexible approach shoe would be recommended.
