From slide parking lot you accend 700 feet and back down 700 feet where you get to the sign pointing to Table Mnt. It is 3.2 miles to this point. It is 2.7 miles to Summit from this point. You decend another 100 feet to the bridges across the brooks. That means you have a 800 footclimb back to your car on your return
. It is 800 feet in 1.7 miles so not to steep, but still a pain after your legs have cooled down. it is 1600 feet to sumit from the brooks. There are 3 "dips" in the trail from here that add a few hundred feet to your return, again. the second bridge is 2 logs with a cable instead of a railing. Make sure to wipe your boots so the are not wet because it is about a 10 foot drop to the brook if you slip. A cable does not help much in keeping your balance. About half way up there is a lookout on your right that does not offer much to the southeast. Good spot to break for lunch because there is not view up top. Going by the signs it is about 12 miles round trip with about 3400 feet total climbing counting the dips. Only about 4 or 5 short steep sections. Most climbing is gradual. I started at 9:30 am and got back to car at 3:15 pm with no time spent on summit. Trail not to wet considering.
