Description
From an often muddy upper parking lot, head east through rocks and steep switchbacks, then turn west and continue on a steep grade through a plant-bordered singletrack until you join the cliff. Follow the rock face west to connect to the North Table Loop Trail, providing a fast way to attain the top of the mesa. Although short, this is a high-intensity hike and caution must be observed when traveling past climbers.
