Table Mountain is, as its name implies, a flat, table-like mountain that is located southeast of Juniper, ID. It sits just south of Cow Canyon and is visible from quite a distance and can easily be seen by travelers on I-84 to its west. The easiest ascent routes are from Cow Canyon Road to the east. Other than the fact that it looks like a table, Table Mountain is a relatively insignificant hump that barely qualifies as a ranked summit. USGS The Cove

Northwest Face, Class 2

The Climb

From BLM-641, hike southeast across open terrain (charred as it is) to reach the base of the steep northwest face, skirting the east side of a prominent hump. The terrain is a mix of gapped scrub and scattered dead junipers. It goes quickly. Scramble up the easy but loose talus/scree to reach the summit plateau. Walk right/south to the high point at the southwest corner of the tilted summit plateau. There is a cairn atop the highest boulder. The entire summit area is charred from a forest fire. It looks and smells of death. Not pleasant.
