While everyone else at this trailhead is following one of the paths along the Pacific Crest Trail towards Table Mountain, I chose to take the loop across the peaks of Cedar Mountain and Aldrich Mountain.

Story
I know... just another hike in the gorge... I've done so many!
Sections of these trails coincide with the famous Pacific Crest Trail. Many people I spoke to on the trails were heading up or returning from Table Mountain. I'll hike that one soon.
The path I chose (Aldrich Mountain and Cedar Mountain Loop - AllTrails) was not the popular one. Several areas were overgrown and I had a hard time figuring out where the trail was. There were also several other trails intersecting the one I was to follow. Several times AllTrails alerted me for following the incorrect path!
