Washington hiking trails - Table Mountain Trail, Northern Cascade Range, Skamania County

   
  Hi, I have tried to climb this mountain, but the there are very little trail markers and the Columbian write ups on directions were not even close to actuality. I am trying to locate specific directions since there are several different forks. You have all these coordinates but if you don't have or use a GPS they are useless. Alas, you can't help me anymore than what's available out there, which is nothing really. Says Stephen

Trekking in Washington is something that is always fun to do. Table Mountain Trail is a long tour away from Hood River,
    but it's one of those spots where backpacking is good. There are plenty of wilderness trails in Washington; each one of them is different from the others. Now this backpacking and hiking trail is pretty long, so don't forget to pack enough supplies. There are wilderness trails
all over Washington, and Table Mountain Trail in Skamania County is one of them. The total elevation difference for this backpacking and hiking trail is 2,007 feet which is an average number. This is one of a very small number of great outdoors hiking trails in this area. Backcountry hiking trails like this one here in the Northern Cascade Range are a brilliant way to explore these peaks. And keep in mind that there could be temporary safety restrictions in site. Table Mountain Trail gets lots of water; all through the month of December you get the most snow  
around here while July is commonly the driest month. Different parts of Table Mountain Trail are at very different elevations, so keep in mind that you may need to dress differently at different elevations. Of course, this is an overnight backcountry walk, 1.5 days normally, so make sure you've got all your overnight gear packed. Table Mountain Trail is a two ended backpacking and hiking trail with two trailheads, so if you can get a ride from someone, you can backcountry walk it just one way. Gotta get out of the settlement man, and Table Mountain Trail in Skamania County, Washington is the wilderness at its best. With its 10.6 miles of walking distance; it's longer than many backpacking and hiking trails. Washington has lots of outdoors endeavors. Through the warmest time of the year highs here at Table Mountain Trail get into the 70's; the nighttime is rather chillier of course, typically in the 40's. Daytime highs all through the winter are in the 30's while the cold winter nights at Table Mountain Trail are in the 20's. Table Mountain Trail is a very long backpacking and hiking trail having an average number of uphill miles which makes this a very tough great outdoors hiking trail for advanced backcountry trekkers looking for a good challenge.

Briefly about the general area:
Getting to Twin Falls Creek from Table Mountain Trail is trouble-free, and why not camp at Council Lake Campground since you're here at Table Mountain Trail. Don't leave Table Mountain Trail without first paying a visit to Twin Falls, and a good spot to camp here at Table Mountain Trail is Twin Falls Campground. If you have a thing about the outdoors you'll have a thing about it here in the Northern Cascade Range. In case you don’t mind getting soaked, you can always go whitewater paddling on Lewis River - North Fork, and a pleasant visit to Summit Prairie is a good way to spend an afternoon.
While you're here at Table Mountain Trail it's a glorious idea to go to Mulligan Meadow, and some of the water nearby flows, like Table Creek. Be careful coming to Table Mountain Trail, you might not ever want to return back home again. Whitewater paddling is pleasant on Cispus River.
