Table Mountain — Sunday, May. 22, 2022

I parked at the Bridge of the Gods TH to the PCT, hoping to backpack as far as Panther Creek. Just a mile north of the Table Mtn turnoff, I encountered numerous blowdowns and a rough washout. It definitely slowed me down. The bigger disappointment however, was a couple miles beyond that when I encountered several large snow fields. I crossed the first half dozen with trepidation, but finally reached one especially large, sketchy snow slope, and opted to turn back. Also, the trail (particularly up Table Mtn) was buggier than I'd expected for this time of year.
