Geocache Description:

Hike up South Table Mountain to find out why so many joggers, mountain bikers and dog walkers come here to enjoy spectacular views of Denver and Golden. Once you've reached the top, the walking is reasonably level.


This camo container is a disguised pill bottle.

To the east of this cache is a spectacular view of the Denver Metro area. I love looking down on clouds of pink and white blossoms in the spring time. The view's also outstanding at dusk, just as the city lights begin turning on.

Access:
* From the east: There is a trail head at the end of Foothills Circle Drive, which can be approached via 32nd Ave, south on Eldridge at the turning circle, then west on Foothills Circle and south on Old Quarry Lane.
* From the south: The top of the mountain is also accessible via Quaker Street north of South Golden Road.
* From the south: A trail begins just east of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, but don't use the NREL visitor parking. Instead, go east a bit to find a parking spot.
* From the west: A trail rises from the intersection of 18th and Belvedere St. near old-town Golden. (This access point is farthest from the cache -- on the opposite side of the mesa.)
