White Mountains north of Fairbanks
BLM White Mountains National Recreation Area, from Wickersham Dome Trailhead (Elliott Highway Mile 28) and U.S. Creek / Nome Creek (Steese Highway Mile 57).
Open (BLM winter rules) Snowmachines up to 1,000 lb and 50 in. wide are allowed Oct 15–Apr 30, except on the Ski Loop and Summit trails. Although winter has arrived slowly in the White Mountains, some areas have enough snow to enjoy the mild conditions. This week, Recreation staff assessed trail conditions from Wickersham Dome Trailhead, traveling just beyond Lee’s Cabin on the Trail Creek Trail before bumps and ruts forced them to turn back. They also broke a fresh trail to Eleazar’s Cabin on Wickersham Creek Trail.Latest BLM trail report Nov 5, 2026 · Source: BLM White Mountains trail update
