About South Table Mountain

South Table Mountain is a mesa on the eastern flank of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains of North America. The most distinctive feature of the mesa is its nearly flat cap that is formed by ancient Paleocene lava flows. It is a popular scenic and recreational destination in the Denver metro area, and most of it is preserved as Jefferson County Open Space.
