This was part of the Table Top Mountain Trail Welcome sign.
"Wildfire during the summer of 2004 swept through Nome Creek Valley, charring the forest. Table Top Mountain Trail is still worth hiking for panoramic views from the top. The lower parts of the trail pass through a regenerating spruce forest. Trees that fall across the trail are periodically removed. Watch the trees that my still tip over in the wind or after rain has soaked the ground. Above tree line, the trail is marked with rock cairn. From the top, on clear days, you can experience a panoramic view of the surrounding highlands, Lime Peak, the granite tors in the Quartz Creek Trail area and occasionally, the Alaska Range." |

It was a cloudy day and when we reached almost to the top, the temperature dropped. It was too cold for me to continue, so we decided to head back down. |

This hike was taken awhile back and it was a really good trip. We still have our dear dog Abby. Hopefully this summer we get to go there again and with our son Alan.
