Backpacking

The Table Mountain Trail starts at Boundary Trail #1 and descends to Forest Road 90. Leaving the Boundary Trail, Table Mountain Trail #18 passes through an area of meadows, ponds, and scattered forest. The ponds along this route are home to frogs and early season mosquitoes. Road 9091-020 is reached after 1.5 miles. There are four more road crossings before Forest Road 90 is reached, 4 miles from the Boundary Trail. Please practice “Leave No Trace” principles. Meadows are fragile, please stay on the trail.
