Description
From Table Rock, the trail gently ascends a little further before zigzagging down steeply. From this point on, the trail will generally follow the contour line and will only moderately change altitude. You reach Lasky Point at 0.5 miles, but there are numerous other places that will offer excellent views. At 2.5 miles, the trail will ascend more steeply again and join the Oat Hill Mine Trail.
