Table Mountain, late November hike...

North Table Mountain is a cool place to hike in May, especially after a heavy snowfall (click here to look at it - Table Mountain, light hike one Saturday in May). It transforms into a winter wonderland in January, offering a serene landscape beneath the cold embrace of snow (click here to check it out - Table Mountain or Oh, deer...). But it is also a beautiful place to explore on warm November day so let's try it, shall we?

 

Table Mountain or Oh, deer...

Actually I had no plans to hike Table Mountain. Saturday morning I was heading West on I-70 but soon found out the traffic was awful (despite it wasn't even 7AM yet). I definitely didn't plan on spending hours in traffic so I just made an U-turn and 20 minutes later stopped at the parking lot and was breathing the cold air before starting hiking up on the trail to Table Mountain.

 I like this hike. Close to Denver and you can always pick your route. Wanna do some workout? Go all the way around and it'll be quite a long walk. Want a light hike? Take one of the closest trails and you'll be back in an hour or two. I didn't have any good plans so I just started to roam in hope to see something interesting... and...

We all know the weather here in Colorado is unpredictable. And also sometimes it brings surprises like snowfall in May, for example. Right, that happened a few years ago and there was a few inches of snow in Denver overnight. Next day the hot sun quickly melted the snow blanket and everything looked nice and green again.
