The Table Top Mountain Trail climbs above tree line and passes through a regenerating spruce forest from prior forest fires. The trail tops a large mesa-shaped mountain with a view of the White Mountains before descending back through spruce and birch to the Nome Creek Road.
Travel north of Fairbanks, Alaska on the Steese Highway. Turn left onto the U.S. Creek Road at the Elliott Highway mile post 57. Travel the U.S. Creek Road to the Nome Creek Road and proceed left at the road junction after the Nome Creek Bridge. Travel approximately 8 miles to the Table Top Mountain Trail.
Easy hike, there's a short scramble at the end. Some snow and mud right now.
