It takes me 40 minutes to get to the top after stopping a few times to admire the waterfalls on the way up. There was no one around and I had the vertigo inducing outcropping to myself. I took off my pack and made my way down to the end of the 6 foot wide cliff to take some photos and videos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2268\" height=\"2268\" src=\"https:\/\/thespiritforest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/4E0E3A32-CC7C-4896-B43C-40745B0C26AF.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The view from Table Rock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After departing Table Rock, I meandered up to Mount Gloriette to the abandoned ski slopes. The windmills were now really close and making a low pitched whirring sound. The views from the summit of Mount Gloriette were beautiful and the wildflowers were in full bloom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/autumnequinox.com\/TheSpiritForest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/D3602AB2-AB7D-4CB8-B7AE-544ADDD8A68E-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-107\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Summit of Mount Gloriette<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Around 10:30am, I made my way onto Wind Farm rd. I turned right and I could see Percy Peak way off in the distance. I had spent a good amount of time hanging out at Table Rock and Mount Gloriette and it was time to start picking up the pace. It had been overcast all day and I knew rain was on the horizon. It was supposed to start just after noon and becoming increasingly steady throughout the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I made my way down the road, two atv riders came up behind me. One slowed down, looked at me and gave me a thumbs up as if to ask if I&#8217;m good. I smiled and gave an I&#8217;m good thumbs up back. I mouthed thank you over the loud exhaust, and waved goodbye. He nodded in compliance and off they went.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was starting to drizzle as I rounded the corner into Kelsey Notch. I only had three miles left to Baldhead Shelter. I was set to arrive around lunch and I would inevitably end up staying the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/autumnequinox.com\/TheSpiritForest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/789D13DE-B5FF-4AF4-85E5-B777A7C5CB75-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-108\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The view from Baldhead Shelter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s 7am and I am headed up to Table Rock.
