The trail where photos were taken is colored red.
Aldrich Butte from trail head
The trail follows an old access road
The trail climbs gently
This hike is almost entirely forested
Soon you reach Carpenter Lake and this view of Table Mtn
Then it climbs steeply through a couple of switchbacks
Keep your eye open for the trail that breaks off to the left
This also is an old access road
The trail continues to climb
There are occasional open spots looking west
The first good view out over the gorge
Looking north to Table Mountain
On the top you see the foundation of a building
Benson Plateau on left, Tanner Ridge on right, and Bonneville Dam below
Augspurger Mtn on left, Dog Mtn on right, the Columbia River below them
