Distance was 6.1 miles, time 1:12, and elevation gain/loss 750 feet.
Green Mountain from South Table:
Bikers were out, probably glad to have dry trails for a change, and a girl circled the mountain nearby, her enthusiastic Lab galloping along right behind her.
By the time I made the return trip across the top, it was almost dark, and a lone coyote started calling out. No answer; I guess it was the only one up on the mountain that night. I kept scanning the grass with my headlamp for eyes, not wanting any surprises.
When I got the eastern edge, I could only see the inky shape of nearby cliffs against the sky and city lights, the dirt nearby ending in the blackness of a 15-foot drop over a cliff band. Good thing I know that trail well. There is at least one "false" trail over a sketchy, slippery slope that could end badly.
Man it got dark fast; it seems to be that way when the sky is mostly clear. This is looking back up towards the mountain:
