North Table Mountain // Golden, Colorado

 A nice mid-December hike during a mild late afternoon up North Table Mountain near Golden, Colorado. The hike wasn't too challenging, but did offer fantastic views of the Denver metro, including the skyline. My friend Ellen and I completed a loop past a lava cap, then trekked across mesa-grasslands, and finished with a jog back down to New Terrain Brewing Company for post-hike beer. And as a bonus reward we were treated to an epic golden-red sunset that lit up mountain-wave generated lee-side clouds.

North Table Mountain is here in Google Maps.
