Signage is limited - no sign at the trailhead, and no sign pointing to Table Rock at the junction with Three Brothers Trail (we had to point several people in the right direction there).
Beautiful Eclipse Day hike to Table Rock. Trail is well packed out - there are many postholes but the snowshoeing was still pretty good. Mostly solid in the morning but softening considerably in the afternoon. A little bit of ice and snow remaining on Table Rock itself. The area was very crowded because of the eclipse - Table Rock needed to be taken very carefully. Eclipse was still sufficiently visible from the junction with Three Brothers Trail. Huntington Cascades and Three Brothers Trails are both packed out, and the trail to Mt. Gloriette at the top of the Wilderness Ski Area is at least partially packed out.
Incredible bluebird day for the eclipse. What a spectacular show and an amazing experience! |
