Itinerary:

From the state park's official website:

Table Rock State Park fits the bill for the natural beauty attributed to scenic Highway 11. Table Rock State Park hiking trails serve as an access point for the 80-mile Foothills Trail. The Table Rock State Park hiking trails take hikers past mountain streams and waterfalls to the tops of Pinnacle and Table Rock mountains. While the park is well known to outdoor enthusiasts for its natural features, Table Rock also has its place in history. Many of the Table Rock State Park cabins and other structures built by the CCC remain standing and are on the National Register of Historic Places.

For our hike, we will start at the Nature Center (1160') and take the Table Rock Trail up to Table Rock Mountain (3124'). After a brief stop at a few overlooks to admire the views and have lunch, we will head back down to Panther Gap and up toward Pinnacle Mountain (3425'). After stopping to admire the views at Bald Rock Overlook, we will head back down to our cars via the Pinnacle Mountain Trail.

Hey, if you've not completed a recent AOC D4 or higher, please send the trip leaders information on your recent hiking experiences (trail name, distance, date, pace), this will enable us to ensure group safety. If I don't get an email from you, within a day of your signup, I will move you to the waitlist.
