<!-- Detailed description of the route. Is there any side trails that are worth traveling? --> | |||
The Hawksbill Trail has a sign, is short, and obviously uphill. It does intersect with the Ridge Trail with the route to the top turning left short of the intersection. There are several rocky, open areas with the high point over a tremendous overhang. | |||
The Trail to Table Rock starts at the signed Spence Ridge Trail Head. Do not take Spence Ridge Trail. Rather take the trail on old road which parallels Table Rock Road and then turns right at the intersection with the Mountains to Sea Trail in about a quarter mile. Go right on the Mountains to Sea Trail for about a mile and take a very sharp switchback onto the Table Rock Summit Trail. There are a number of branches all leading to the top in a short distance. It is more confusing coming down but if you go the wrong way it will just take you back to the top. | |||
