Table Mountain

9 miles of hiking • 4250' elevation gain •

Headed out around 9am and headed out at the trailhead around 10am. Went up past Carpenter Lake and connected with the PCT. We ended up taking the middle route up (not heartbreak nor the PCT). It was a beautiful, windy climb...but the loose rocks weren't so great for Wrangell. We made it to the top and had BEAUTIFUL views of fog! Gorgeous. We did take a break and have our lunch, in hopes that the sun would break through. We got quite a few views of the Gorge (but none of the tall peaks). Regardless, it was still a nice day to sit up top, have some lunch, and enjoy the quiet. We headed down the Heartbreak Ridge trail. The talus slope was fun for us as we got to watch Wrangell choose his own adventure. Usually the 4 legs helps him out..but it was difficult to find 4 stable rocks for him to stand on...regardless, he did great. Finished up the hike around 3pm. It was an empty day out on the trail..ony saw about 2 other groups on the trail total!
