Trip Report: Lower Table Rock in Southern Oregon

When: 01/20/2019 Location: Lower Table Rock Conditions: Mostly cloudy. Cool. Lower 50’s Duration: Single day Difficulty: Moderate Kid Freindly: Yes Pet Freindly: Yes Usefull links: www.oregon.com The Full Report: I did this trail as a trail run on a cool cloudy day in January. Despite having grown up in nearby Grants Pass I had never made it to either Table Rock. There are two, both with trails going to the top of them. I chose Lower Table Rock for a longer duration outing. There is ample space to wander once you reach the plateaued top with the main trail running north/south and several side trails branching off for views off each side. The trail is well maintained and there are a few interpretive signs near the trailhead and at the top with interesting factoids. The trail is a meandering all uphill affair until you reach the top. With trails branching off in each direction once on top you can get a view in any direction and the views are worth the hustle. The entire Rogue Valley, McLoughlin, and the Pacific Coast Range. I would recommend this hike if visiting the area or passing through with access being easy from Interstate 5. Would do again! Enjoy!
