The hike to the Red Dome is just over 2 miles and the trail takes us across the Whitewater River and on to the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). The trail is on the left side of the canyon and has a low incline on a well maintained trail.
The Dome is a small (25 feet high) brick red hill of volcanic mud in the riverbed. It was fun to climb and get your picture taken and the dogs were scrambling around all all side.
