Summary
From the Two Trees North Trailhead in Riverside, the Two Trees Trail gradually climbs toward the high peaks on Box Springs Mountain. The climb is unshaded but with some interesting boulder clusters to view along the way. Also, Sugarloaf Ridge runs parallel to the trail. The Box Springs Plateau gets reached in about 2 miles, where I made the decision to visit the rest of the peaks that I didn't get to visit when last ascending Box Springs Mountain.

| Table Peak. |
The first stop was Table Peak. I took a turn to the north to reach it. A trail used to access Sugarloaf Ridge is where I left the road, then I accessed a use trail to reach the peak.

Afterwards, I backtracked to the upper parking lot, then continued toward two lightly visited summits. These were Peak 2843 and Peak 2880. Both were off trail scrambles past large boulders.

Visiting these three peaks meant that I completed all the peaks on the Box Springs Plateau. With that, I looped back down the Spring Trail and back down the Two Trees Trail. This is a classic Inland Empire hike, which is almost entirely unknown to many, other than the Two Trees Trail portion of the hike.
