Table Mountain Wilderness

Table Mountain Wilderness is a protected high-elevation backcountry in central Nevada's Monitor Range, administered by the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. Covering 92,600 acres, it is Nevada's third largest wilderness area and centers on a broad plateau rising to about 10,000 feet. Unusually well watered for the state, it includes forests, aspen groves, fishing streams, and beaver ponds near the old mining settlement of Belmont. The area is especially known for wildlife, including major herds of mule deer and reintroduced elk, as well as predators and birds of prey. Protected under the 1964 Wilderness Act, it remains roadless and closed to motorized travel, with trails for hiking and horseback use.
