Fun With Chris and Jane

Our various adventures on California trails (and elsewhere)

August 15, 2008 – Dome Rock

August 15, 2008 – Dome Rock

June 19, 2012 Chris Comments 0 Comment

About 1/2 mile east of the Great Western Divide Highway lies the granite crown of Dome Rock, an easy scramble of 100 yards or so from the parking area at the end of a dirt road. Our nephew Jacob and friend Eileen were joining us for a weekend of camping at Quaking Aspen, so this little trip to Dome Rock was the perfect excursion once we finished breakfast. The views were wonderful, though obscured a little by some late morning haze. We were inspired at the sight of The Needles to the north and decided that we’d hike up to the fire lookout there after lunch.

Over the last few years, we have discovered - or really, re-discovered - our common love of hiking. Although we typically enjoy the proverbial mountaintop experience and the sense of accomplishment that comes with reaching some summit or another, we sometimes prefer easier trips that are less taxing. In any case, we hope the visitor appreciates not just the natural beauty of the California areas to which we have been, but in some small way participates with us in the experience as well. We spend several weekends in Pismo Beach each year, so much of our hiking takes place on the Central Coast. We also like camping in the Sierras, so we've done several trips along the Great Western Divide and the Kern Plateau. Additionally, we have done a group hike (known as Chris and Jane's Excellent Adventure) with family and friends each Labor Day since 2009 - these trips are included in their own page. Finally, we recently purchased a cabin in Wrightwood, so many of our latest hikes have been in the eastern San Gabriel mountains. Enjoy the site!
