T
his is a tough, 8++-mile round-trip climb to the top of Table Mountain on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) from the Bonneville Hot Springs resort. We departed took a Loop trail 
(Note that Washington Dept Natural resources has re-routed the upper portion of the trail) via a number of confusing road and trail interscetions to a very windy/exposed ridge. The push up the snow covered upper slope was made more challenging by 50 mph + winds that occassionally knocked us down. Most of the hiking is through the trees, but the summit of Table Mountain has spectacular views. Hikers: Keith Hill, Mike Niemeyer, Matt & Rebecca Tryon, Rick Slezak, Jeff Howell. The Hot springs is a nice facility , you can get a great hamburger meal ($9.95) in the pub and a soak in the hot springs ($15. )
Gear: Bring warm clothes, usual 10 essentials and snowshoes and treking poles.
Directions: From Salem take I5 to 205 North to I-84 east and exit at Cascade Locks. Cross the Columbia River via the Bridge of the Gods ($1 toll). Turn left onto Highway 14, drive 3 miles west to Hot Springs Way and turn right. Turn right at the stop sign onto East Cascade Drive and follow this for 1/2 mile to the Resort.
