(Almost) Full Moon Loop Hike - Carl's Point at South Table Mountain

Let's go on a short evening hike up South Table Mountain to check out the panoramic views of the Denver metro area, and the moonrise. Some of the history of South Table Mountain can be found here. Given the exposure on this hike, we will play it by ear, since the weather forecast may not be favorable.

Here's a nice article about Carl's hard work to preserve this area:
