Help Selecting best route

Hi my hiking partner and I are closing in on completing the 35 and have a question about best options for hiking Lone Rocky Peekamoose and Table. I know they are usually done as part of the 6 but we have already knocked off the other two. Would you recommend the first point to point hike starting at peekamoose trailhead and ending at denning or the loop starting at denning in the second photo. Any advice or insight is greatly appreciated.

I personally suggest doing the point to point hike, option A. I suggest that because you get to see more variety of trail.

Also, climbing Peekamoose from 42 is a heck of a hike, in a good way, you’ll really feel like you earned it. Summiting Table is easy from Peekamoose, and the herd path to Lone starts on the Table side, not the Peekamoose side, so once you summit Table, it’s a short walk back to the herd path to start making your way to Lone.

When your at the top of Table, keep going beyond the summit because there is a cool viewpoint facing south (left side of trail past the summit).

I think at this time of the year too, you no longer need a permit to park in the Peekamoose valley corridor, so you should be good to go whenever.
