Table Top Trail
About
Table Top Trail is a 4.3-mile lollipop loop located in Arizona, managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The route features significant elevation gain of 4,056 feet, making it a challenging hike suitable for experienced hikers seeking a strenuous workout. The lollipop configuration allows hikers to complete a loop while returning via the same approach trail, providing a sense of accomplishment at the summit before descending. With nearly 4,100 feet of elevation gain compressed into 4.3 miles, expect steep sections and sustained climbing throughout the hike. This BLM-managed trail offers access to public lands in Arizona with its unique geography and desert terrain. The high elevation gain relative to distance means a significant vertical challenge that demands good fitness levels and proper preparation. Hikers should bring adequate water, sun protection, and gear suitable for exposed conditions typical of Arizona's high desert landscape.
