Table Dome is a climbing area in the Coyote Mountains Wilderness, on land managed by the Bureau of Land Management's Tucson Field Office in Arizona. It sits within designated wilderness, so the rules of the wilderness apply here. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show March highs around 75°F and November highs around 74°F, while June and July average highs near 99°F. That station sits well below the dome, so temperatures up high run cooler. Elephant Dome is just 0.2 miles away, and Mendoza Canyon (aka Coyote Domes) is about 0.7 miles off. For a hike, the West Coyote Mountain Trail lies roughly 5.7 miles away.
