Hiking – South Table Mountain

This hike is for RMOTHG members only

Our hike will begin at the Fossil Trailhead parking area. From the trailhead we'll enjoy a modest ascent of ~200 ft over the first mile. When we reach the top of the mesa we'll head north along the Fossil Trail. We'll have the option of heading east along the Old Quarry Trail to Carl's Point as an out-n-back, returning to the Fossil Trail (about 3 miles RT). Further north along the Fossil Trail we'll find the northern overlook. We'll continue along the Fossil Trail, making our way back to the Fossil trailhead along the Old Quarry, Augite, and Serpentine Trails. We'll find a sunny spot for lunch/snack along the way. Our pace will be comfortable for all group members. This hike is ~4.5 - 7.5 miles (depending upon our decision on Carl's Point) and ~400 ft elevation gain. (South Table Mountain - CalTopo)
