Gloria Terrace to Table Top

2 miles up and 2 miles back, 1,238 ft of gain — the steepest short hike in Briones. Begin at the Gloria Terrace entrance on the Blue Oak Trail; at the one-mile mark go straight onto the "gully trail" shortcut to Spengler, turn left up the switchbacks to the Table Top junction, then right up Table Top to the Briones Crest Trail.
