Ray & I met in Golden for an afternoon hike and started with lunch at the Buffalo Rose, a little honkey tonk right on Washington. Cheeseburger, fries and a PBR for $5. Drove to the trail head and headed up. For those of you unfamiliar, Table Top is a mesa which can be seen for miles. The trail is moderate to advanced difficulty, with about 300 feet elevation gain from the north and about 400 feet gain from the south. There is moderate exposure to rock fall; many sections of the trail are rough and not suitable for strollers or bicycles, although neither are prohibited. There is abundant wildlife, including deer, coyote, fox, golden eagle, magpie, canyon wren, rattlesnake, and mountain lion. Thought I would plagiarize a little there ;) The only wildlife we saw were thousands of grasshoppers. And many rock climbers. I'd like to try that sometime.....
