| partners | | john and i have had golden dome on our must do list for a few years
we decided to get up there today
got going around 0700
followed @dixieflyer's route for most of the hike
immediately scenic from milepost 204
followed a few trails that we've been on before for about 3.5 miles
off trail to our first landmark, pedestal arch, which i've seen at least three times
then the ridgeline up to golden dome saddle
we took one of the west side chutes for climb to the summit
one corner had some exposure
nice to be up top after seeing it on every goldfields hike
we took a snack/photo break and signed the register
i was a little sketched out before the descent, but it was fine
thank you for spotting me, john
we then followed the ridgeline over peak 3141
the downhill from there was slow going - steep with loose rock
the worst part of the entire hike was the drainage we followed to get over to triple arch and black glass canyon
lots of catclaw and other sticker bushes
saw the arch and dropped down the canyon
one bypass and fun downclimbing
water flowing and some deep pools
once out of the canyon, we took the road back partway, then some other trails before closing the loop
four classic goldfield landmarks on this hike
water in some of the drainages
great views from the high points
a lot of bang for the buck
it's not easy with all the off trail
we had a good day for it
copied linkage since i still have no idea what trails we were on
thanks lp! this was a good one  |
