Hiking Table Rock in Boise, Idaho!

Table Rock was the first hike Little Wolf and I ever did. It looked really big! Our whole family ended up going on the hike which included our 3-year-old sister, 5-year-old brother, our mom, and of course our dad, the cameraman.

We weren’t sure how easy or hard the hike would be.

Table Rock is Boise’s most popular hiking destination so you can expect to see quite a few people on the trails. If you are looking for some quiet alone time, this is definitely not your spot.

You have to be on the lookout for snakes on this trail. Mountain lions have been spotted previously but are pretty rare.

The day we hiked Table Rock it was rather smokey.

The trail is 1.7 miles in one direction with about 800 feet in elevation gain if you are doing the Old Penn Trail.

You can see our hike on YouTube here!

With little kids, it took us a little longer than it normally would have.

However, the view at the top is incredible.

You get an awesome view of Boise and you can see the Owyhee mountains in the distance.

At the top of Table Rock is a really big cross. At night the cross is lit up with lights and you can see it from miles away.

You have to be careful at the top because there are some places where a fall is going to cause serious harm or death. So if you have little ones, keep them close by!

Overall, the hike is about 3.4 miles and is a good starter hike for anyone looking to get into hiking.
