The first half of this loop runs along the stream parallel to Two Trees Trail before climbing up the boulder-bound face of Table Mountain, the second highest peak in the Box Springs Mountain range. Take the trail at the top to Two Trees Trail and head back down the mountain and return where you began.
We tried our best to stay on the trail that the app shows. Best we can figure is a fire and rains washed the northern third away. We had a blast forging our own trail down the hill with very loose dirt. Finally came across the "bridge" that crosses the creek and cave.
Good little hike for a quick time out from the city that doesn't have too many people. Although there is recent fire damage, everything is starting to come back to life. I'd hike it again! No fees for parking but the lot is small and I imagine it fills up rather quickly on the weekends.
