The United States Congress designated the Table Mountain Wilderness in 1989 and it now has a total of 98,000 acres. The entire wilderness is in Nevada.

A unique high plateau, or tableland, distinguishes this Wilderness. This rolling, semi-forested region attracts hikers and especially horseback riders. The Monitor Range, in which Table Mountain stands, rises above 10,000 feet and provides a home for one of the largest mule deer herds in the state. A well-established elk herd introduced in 1979 adds incentive for hunters. Five major streams attract anglers seeking trout. Large stands of aspen over much of the mountainsides are unusual in this region of central Nevada. Some of the aspens are carved with dates dating back as early as 1907) and well-preserved samples of Basque sheepherder art.
