(VS) Table Rock Summit – Table Rock State Park
The hike starts behind the Table Rock Nature Center past several waterfalls slowly climbing up the valley to reach Panther Gap where we will turn right and make our final ascent up to the Table Rock summit. Along the ridge we will stop briefly at the Governor’s Rock viewpoint before proceeding to the Table Rock Summit viewpoint for a well-deserved lunch enjoying the splendid views of Caesar’s Head and the Table Rock Reservoir. Be advised this is a steep hike with 2205 feet of elevation gain and does involve numerous stone and rock steps to reach the summit. We will hike at a moderate pace around 2.25 mph depending on the terrain and trail conditions.
