Chris went hiking June 12, 2011 18 miles 4,250 feet gained
They say the third time's the charm.
Apparently not.
Yet again, Table evades me. I started at one of the CG-2000 trailheads around 1p and made my way up the PCT towards Three Corner Rock. Hit snow patches around 3200', which continued on the east side of the ridge all the way to table. Often it was easier to bushwhack up higher on the ridge, or take 4x4 roads.
Three Corner Rock is pretty neat, and probably worth checking out. Because of all the snow, I got to the powerlines right below table mountain around 4:30p, which put me back at the car around 8:30p, and gave me very little daylight to get back if I were to make it all the way to the top. So I made the "smart" decision and turned around right after the powerlines. Also, storm clouds looked like they were brewing, so that made for another good excuse. I sat in the middle of the trail, ate my salmon salad sandwich, and had a short pout before turning back. Of course, I made it back to the car by 7p after all. Oh well :)
One of these days, I'll get to the top of Table.
