Table Peak

"Hiked the Two Trees Trail from Riverside. Once reaching Box Springs Mountain Road, I turned left and connected with a trail that went up the side of Table Peak. Afterwards, I backtracked down the road to the Box Springs parking lot. I turned left at the gate and took a use trail that skirts the edge of private property. The trail bends around the base of peak 2843 but does not climb up the side. When I reached a grassy slope, I left the use trail and did some minor off trail hiking. Along the way, I found some good wild burro trails going in the direction I wanted to go. Using that same method, I topped out on both Peak 2843 & Peak 2880. Afterwards, I took the Spring Trail back to the Two Trees Trail." — MikeTeeples • Oct 2, 2022

"From the parking lot in Box Springs Mountain Park, I backtracked down the road to the use trail leading to Table Peak. It is a straightforward climb while passing several gigantic boulders. The nearby landscape is rugged looking due to the boulders and weathered hills. There was even a camera crew and a guy posing like Moses parting the Red Sea on top of one of the boulders. They probably had to cut the camera twice as I came walking through." — MikeTeeples • Jan 13, 2018

"Set out to summit the several peaks on the Skyline loop 1 & 2 trails. Parked at the upper Box Springs Mountain Reserve Park parking lot, reached by the Pigeon Pass road from Moreno Valley side. Started hiking around 3pm on the Skyline trail 1 and headed up the path to the first peak which we found to be Table Peak where 2 large boulders bear the USGS Summit Marker. We followed back down the trail and began our hike north around Table Peak and up to the 2nd peak west of Table which did not have an established name, perhaps just a sub-peak but just as high in elevation as Table. From the 2nd peak we walked the mountain's backbone to the 3rd summit which did not bear a name as well. The summits rock formations were quite strange looking with apparent erosion from the elements. We ate lunch and called it a day as the sun was setting..." — JohnnyMar • Mar 10, 2012
