This is an off trail hike to a peak next to Dome mountain the peak is a four point SOTA Summit and if you follow the unofficial trail that breaks off from the start point for Dome Mountain this would be an easy second peak if you were to do Dome the same day. The view from this peak is great and it has a nice bit of shade on the summit.
