Sunlight Ridge to Tabletop

The northwest end of the Crazies offers some of the most fantastic hiking around and the Sunlight Ridge Trail is certainly no exception. The trail, which is very well maintained, leads you through a flat, heavily forested area before ascending Sunlight Ridge, passing through a number gorgeous sub-alpine meadows along the way. The last segment of trail is completely exposed, hugging the side of the ridge and leading to the saddle that separates Sunlight Peak and Tabletop Mountain (unofficial name). Sunlight Peak does not appear to be climbable without ropes but you can easily scramble up the Tabletop for an excellent view of the razor-sharp ridges and glacially carved U-shaped valleys which, in my opinion, define the Crazies. Camping is also available at Sunlight Lake if it's late enough in the year.
