Table Mountain

Table Mountain is one of our favorite hikes early spring. It happens early and quick, and dries out fast. But while it is on, it is indescribable, with vernal pools, cushions of brightly colored Parvisedum pumilum (Sierra Stonecrop)carpeting the rocks. It is a relatively steep hike up to the top, but not terribly long. And the views are fantastic. This year, we were lucky enough to catch it when all the miniature white shooting stars were in bloom.
