Take advantage of the crisp fresh air of the remote White Mountain Recreation Area with a gradual 3-mile (4.82-km) hike on the Table Top Mountain Trail. The journey is filled with spectacular views of the forest, rivers, valleys, and hillsides, with the best vistas at 2 accessible summits.

After a convenient pickup at your hotel, begin the scenic drive through Interior Alaska to the White Mountains National Recreation Area. Upon arrival, make your way to the Table Top Mountain trailhead to start your trek on this popular hike.

Stay alert throughout the moderate 3-mile (4.82-km) loop for a chance to glimpse local wildlife, such as moose, bears, and hawk owls. You notice the charred spruce trees and your professional guide takes the opportunity to share more information about the devastating fires in the region and the impact on the ecosystem.

Each outlook point on the excursion offers a new perspective of the expansive recreation area, including Nome Creek Valley and Beaver Creek Valley. Your efforts are rewarded at the summit, with unforgettable panoramic views of the White Mountains, stretching as far as the stunning Alaska Range on a clear day. Enjoy the rest stop at the top, snapping some photos to capture the moment.

Finish the loop and relax on the ride back to your hotel where the tour concludes.
