North Table, in Golden, is the northern of the two table top mountains in Golden. It lies on the north side of Clear Creek, with 360º views.
Weather and Seasons
There is little vegetation and the trails are exposed. Thus, it's best to avoid the trails there when it's hot, windy, or during thunder storms. The best times to use it are spring and fall. It's also ok to use over the winter. The trails aren't that technical, so it's runable in snow and ice. You should avoid these trails when they're wet, though, because they quickly turn to heavy, wet clay. Not good!
Driving Directions
The main lot and access is on the W side, just off of hwy 93, ~3/4mi N of Golden Gate Canyon rd. Access to the trails from the E side is closed until Fall, 2012.

On Thursday nights, DTR has different routes at each run. The different routes are designed so that we can accommodate runners of different speeds and still start/finish at about the same time. See more info on choosing the appropriate route for you.
