Let's go on a short evening hike up South Table Mountain to check out the panoramic views of the Denver metro area. Some of the history of South Table Mountain can be found **[here](https://youtu.be/iIYQANXBfEI).** Given the exposure on this hike, we will play it by ear, since the weather forecast may not be favorable.

**NOTE:** ‘Tis the season of conflicting weather forecasts. Should the weather not cooperate, I will do my best to cancel the hike at least two hours before the start time.
