We will hike north from the trailhead along Jeep roads.
After about two miles, leave the Jeep road and follow a trail to the summit
of Dome Mountain, highest point in the Goldfields.
The 360 degree view from on top is great!
Then hike off trail down a short distance to the western
Camouflage Tanks.
After lunch we will hike off trail around the north and east sides of the
