North Table is a gem of a mountain with respect to training. Located in Golden, Colorado there are numerous ways to enjoy North Table from climbing, biking, running and hiking. Countless trails up and around the mountain offer numerous route combinations for all types of outdoor users. 

While I may not visit North Table as frequently as I do Green Mountain due to my location, I do enjoy wandering over to Golden to enjoy trail linkups from time to time. It’s all about timing when visiting North Table mountain and my favorite times are sunrise and sunset.
