The search for gold is what brought the early sourdoughs to Alaska. Today people are still looking for that glimmer of gold in Nome Creek, part of which has been designated as a recreational panning area. 
Nome Creek Valley, accessible from the Steese Highway, offers trails, fishing, gold panning areas, two campgrounds, and the put-in for floating Beaver Creek National Wild River. 
Several of the White Mountains recreation cabins can be reached in summer on foot or by horse, raft, or off-highway vehicle. Other are inaccessible due to wet and muddy trail conditions. 
A portion of the White Mountains National Recreation Area is open to the use of motorized vehicles during designated time periods. Maps show open areas and the rules for operating motor vehicles. 
BLM manages over 40 miles of summer trails including the Summit and Quartz Creek trails. These trails provide access to public recreation cabins, hiking and ATV activities, and Beaver Creek National Wild River. 
BLM manages three campgrounds in or near the White Mountains. One is located at mile 60 on the Steese Highway, and the other two are located at either end of the Nome Creek Valley.
