Table Rock

Our last day in Grants Pass was a game of Hide & Seek with the sun as the rain clouds would cover it up and expose it throughout the day. Our plans of driving a couple of hours to see Crater Lake was washed away with the morning rain. After sitting around Road Hazard for most of the day we decided to go for a hike up to Table Rock that sits about 2000' above the valley floor.

It felt good to be outside getting some fresh air and stretching our legs. It seemed we had a little extra bounce in our feet as we started up the trail. The reason we chose this trail is because there has been some BIGFOOT activity recorded in this area. I am determined to spot the elusive beast. With my camera fully charged and at the ready we took off.

There sits the flat volcanic rock now named Table Rock. It would take us about an hour to hike up to the overlook. The trail started off through a wooded area. Home, of course, to Sasquatch. Around every bend in the trail I was at the ready to snap the award winning photograph.

We finally made it to the top of the table and was greeted by heavy rainclouds descending through the valley. The wind was constant and kept the clouds away from the plateau that we were traversing. As we got closer to the edge a few drops of rain made an appearance but was short lived.

As we stood with our toes at the edge overlooking the valley below another rain cloud had pushed through Grants Pass and was building to come south where we were. Enjoy the view and lets go before we get hit with a wall of water. It was hard to leave this spot because the view was great. Large vultures floating effortlessly in the updrafts, coming off the rock face, that only seemed feet away from us. The activity on the valley floor looked as if we were watching ants scurry about. Come on, let's go!

We made it back with only a few showers keeping everything cool and moist on us. No sign of Bigfoot but there will be other opportunities to spot him.

Thursday we are on the road again and still heading north. Next stop...
