Turn onto Route 52A near the TriValley School. Stay on the road until the hamlet of Sundown where the road turns left. Bear to the left on Peekamoose Rd. and continue on the road until parking areas begin to show up on the left. The parking area most use to climb the mountain is the sixth marked spot and indicates the beginning of the Peekamoose-Table trail. Park here and start up the blue-blazed trail. After 2.3 miles you reach Reconnoiter Rock which has a nice view. Climb for about .75 miles and there is a rock ledge with opens views to the south. The summit of Peekamoose Mountain (3843 ft.) is .85 miles further. The trail then descends into a col between the two mountains before it rises to the flat ridge that is Table Mountain. After .85 miles, you are on the summit of Table Mountain (3847 ft.) The Trail continues on to the Denning trail head but your car is back on the Peekamoose Rd. Turn around and retrace your route to the car.

Turn onto County Route 19 (Claryville Road) from State Route 52 in Curry between Neversink and Grahamsville. Stay on the road until the hamlet of Claryville. Continue through Claryville where the name of the road changes to the Denning Road. Stay on this road until you run out of road. Park in the Denning Trail Head lot. Get on the yellow-marked Phoenicia-East Branch Trail and hike for about 1.2 miles. At this point the blue-marked Peekamoose Table Trail turns to the right and heads down to the East Branch of the Neversink River and Deer Shanty Brook. After .3 miles, there will be a log bridge cross the East Branch. This bridge washes out at times and the river may not be easily crossed! The trail now heads toward Table Mountain with several smaller hills to cross before the main ascent. Just after 3000 ft there is a very obvious lookout on the right which has a nice view to the south. After about 2 miles, there is a small spring on the left which can dwindle to nothing in dry weather. In another .1 miles, there is a spur trail to the right that leads to a lean-to. Shortly a sign announces the 3500 ft elevation. Keep your eyes open for another short trail to the right which leads to a small outcropping of rock. This is another lookout facing south. There are several other places on this trail that hint of views both to the south and north but foliage in the summer blocks these views. The hiking gets steep now for the last .2 miles at which time you have arrived at the summit of Table Mountain. The hike to Peekamoose is only .85 miles more and the drop into the Col between them is minimal. Peekamoose doesn't offer many vies but the trail near the top is interesting. After reaching the summit of Peekamoose, retrace your steps back to the parking lot.
