10 miles of hiking • 2500' elevation gain •
The plan was to do Table Mountain from BHS. Like all my plans, it didn't happen. The weather got absolutely miserable the farther you got back from the Columbia—fifty and sunny at the river, in the low thirties, sleeting and a mud slick at the "Table trailheads." Given that there would be no views at the top, I decided to make a loop out of it and swing by Gilette Lake.
