Table Mountain

This unusual landform just outside of Oroviile, CA is the remanent of an ancient volcano! Known as Table Mountain, for obvious reason, this is Oroville's most famous landmark! South Table Mountain (this one), contains a big O that stands for Oroville! The entire South Table Mountain is private property, but the neighboring North Table Mountain contains the North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve! The reserve was established in 1993 to protect spectacular seasonal waterfalls, and ancient lava fields! There are no trails anywhere, which makes hiking that much for fun and adventurous! People who want to see the waterfalls have to find their own way, and the inexperienced hiker could easily get lost! Table Mountain was once one of California' s most spectacular hidden secrets, but is recently becoming more and more popular with tourists!
