Hi there, I'm contemplating trying to go from Hamilton to Table without going back out to the road. I found a caltopo map that suggests that someone has either planned this or actually done it: http://caltopo.com/m/FHHC
Has anyone here tried to connect Hamilton and Table off-trail? I'm not very familiar with the area, so if it's a ridiculous idea, please be kind when explaining that to me.
Hamilton to Table connection?
Re: Hamilton to Table connection?
There are a few options that have been reported on this forum in the past. All of course involve crossing / wading Hamilton Creek. The most commonly used spot to make this upper crossing has been the Powerline Rd.
Here is a TR that we did in 2012 that involved this crossing.

I did a Table/Hamilton loop a while back. Hamilton Creek is a problem this time of year and I crossed in low flow conditions. A lot of fun. Interesting route in that caltopo link. That would be a long day.
Here's my TR with the route I took:

The future's uncertain and the end is always near.
