Ascending Hikes – North Table Mountain
Ascending Hikes Section (AHS): This loop on North Table Mountain from the west trailhead combines two sustained ascents with extended mesa-top travel, creating a moderately strenuous outing with repeated elevation gain. The route climbs via the North Table Loop Trail, traverses Tilting Mesa to the Mesa Top Trail, and drops through Cottonwood Canyon before rejoining the loop for a second climb, offering alternating exposure between open rim views and more enclosed canyon terrain. A short detour to Lichen Peak marks the high point before a steady descent completes a circuit defined by its rolling profile, broad vistas, and efficient use of connecting trails. This is the second in a summer series of AHS hikes.
