Mallory Cave Trail via NCAR Trail and Table Mountain
The Mallory Cave Trail via the NCAR and Table Mountain offers a rewarding hike through Boulder’s iconic foothills. Starting from the NCAR campus, the trail winds through open meadows, offering striking views of the Flatirons and red rock formations. The final section involves a challenging scramble up to the cave, which remains closed to protect local bat populations, but the panoramic scenery along the route makes the effort worthwhile. #Hiking #Mountain #Forest #Nature #Cave
