Description: This trail alternates between doubletrack and singletrack as the figure 8 loops up and around the Table Mountain mesa. Signage is a work in progress as of June 2010 so grab a map at the trailhead kiosk. From the road this grassy mesa looks fairly tame but there are some steep, rocky sections that will challenge even experienced riders. There's even a hidden waterfall near the top of the Mesa Top Trail.

Nice views and a very steep climb up the access road. Otherwise, this a beginner's trail. If you want a real challenge though, about 1/2 way up the trail, there is an advanced single track that wraps around the side of the mountain.

A mix of single/double track starting with a very steep 3/4mi climb up the dirt service road, decent single track down the last couple of miles if you ride it counter-clockwise. Signage is not yet complete and some trails are not marked well at the top, went down a couple of dead-ends. Great workout but only one true technical section.

This trail is perfect for a beginner who wants to push themselves, but not go flying over a cliff. The first trail I rode out here (just moved from NC) was Chimney Gulch. I've a little riding experience but not much and I have to say that if you are a beginner and want a workout, go to North Table Mountain. If you want a technical onslaught that will improve your skills and build your confidence, go to a tougher trail.

Not much more than a place to get a quick fix in. Lots of Double track, little single. The kiosk at the bottom says more trails will be added, so that's a positive. My advice is to wait for them.

Great trail to get some exercise. It is a little confusing on top. The map is ok but until you ride the trail it is hard to visualize where you are in relationship to the marked trails on the map. Good hour and 1/2 ride.

Decent trail mostly just an afternoon workout for me. Nice views of the front range but not much for going though trees or much downhill. The climb is decent which then leads to a loop on the top which is flat. Make sure to watch out for rattle snakes I have seen one every time I have ridden this trail
