9-1-2018 North Table Loop

-

North Table Mountain is a beautiful and expansive hike through dusty switchbacks leading up to a grand view of Denver's surroundings.  This is a perfect example of big sky country. It was a warm day full of sun, clouds and light rain but none of it detrimental to the experience.


This is the type of scenery seen in old westerns. When the sun was out it was hot but it cooled down nicely when the clouds rolled in, adding some dramatic heft to the experience.










The top flattens out and just as beautiful.




We then made our way down the other side to head back.



And finally a post hike celebration of beers and po'boys at New Terrain brewery

It was a hot dry day when we decided to hike Lookout Mountain which is only 30ish minutes to the west of downtown Denver. We loaded up on water and snacks and started off at the lookout area. We then hit the real trail and had some welcome shade for awhile. After awhile of forest the trail opened up to some great views and some hot sun!
