Description
The most well marked trails on south table all start at the bottom and climb to the loop on top. From the parking area ride towards the NREL building and look for the trail system on your right. Ride up to the split and decided which way to go. I find the left fork easier to climb as the right fork has a lot of larger looser rocks, but both trail end at the same loop. Climb until you reach the crushed gravel loop on top. It's a fun loop with lots of Slick rock type features sticking out of the gravel. On the North West side of the loop there’s a double track trail that continues to climb and take you to the "Castle". A large rock feature that overlooks Coors Brewing, from here it's a fun downhill all the way back to the parking lots.
There are so many trail to explore and many different climbs and descents to be done. This trail can be as a quick :30 minute ride or a long epic 2 hour ride, it's all up to you.

Review: I must have rode up the wrong side or something, otherwise, this trail was definitely not rated properly. It should be considered an intermediate / advanced trail. I've ridden a few intermediate trails already, and though I'm far from being an experienced rider, my cardio is up. Still there was just no way I could ride up this trail. From the trail grade to the rocks to the sharp switchbacks, this is a tough one even for experienced riders... Once you're at the top, then yes, the trail is super easy for beginners... but I literally HAD to walk my bike up. And to come back down the same way??? Not yet ready for that.

Review: Seems to be just a bunch of unconsolidated, old ATV trails. The wildlife and views of Golden/Denver are great.
Review: Hit this one after work last Friday. I was surprised by the amount of trails on top. (Was expecting one loop, but found a few intersecting trails going in different directions.) Great views of downtown Denver as well as Golden. Saw 5 hikers and one dog. Easy ride, some lava rock to scramble over.
Review: Good fun trail, a great afternoon/ evening ride. Plenty to explore, a few fun downhill sections. Usually not very crowded.
