Hike Route


I am a member of the Sierra Foothill Conservancy and last Saturday had an opportunity to hike to the top of the McKenzie Table, which overlooks a portion of both Millerton Lake and the San Joaquin River. These “tables” are capped with lava while the ground around them was worn away by the flow of the San Joaquin River. I hiked with friends and fellow members Mike and Marie Gilbert. The hike was around 6 miles on a marked trail with about 1,000’ of gain outbound. Afterwards we were treated to a wonderful lunch.
