Arc Dome has been on my list for awhile now, and now it's bumped up to the top thanks to your great blog post. Hope you don't mind if we borrow one of those CC campsites for a couple days in the near future.

Great trip report! What time of year was this? What were the temperatures like? Is there a guidebook/trail map? I need to branch out beyond Utah, and this looks sublime.

Wow finding that wreck was a feat! So sad to know that men died there and families grieved but a cool part of history to find.

I like the Ted motivation. That may work on me if you dangle some jack from there

Thanks for both terrific reports!

 

[Wandering Sagebrush]

Thank you Mr & Mrs 3Pin. A great TR, and nice remembrance of the airman who lost their lives on that mountain top.

 

[Casa Escarlata Robles Too]

Great that you were able to find some of the plane crash remains.The Gov must have removed the main parts,correct.
Great trip ride along.
Thanks.

Beautiful country and an interesting trip. I like your approach of having a goal to discover on your hikes. Kudos to the Lady for a masterful motivational technique. Thanks for the report.

Great report Ski, thanks for sharing. Nice find on that old B-24 crash site.

I have to ask, what brand of hiking boots do you wear?

Thank you all for the kind comments on our trip story, it is much appreciated!

The terrain, ecosystems, history, and critters are wonderful to discover and explore out there.

Stew, Arc Dome is a classic looking peak and we so enjoy that last 1000 feet of vertical to the summit!

Our last time up -

Back to Nevada - Labor Day Weekend 2011

That is a place I have been wanting to explore for a long time. Thanks for the great trip report.

Thanks Taku! Get on out there!

- July 2017
Temperatures at the campground were low 80's for a high with low 40's for the overnight low. There is no guidebook that I know of, but I really haven't looked. Look at the link for the Wilderness I supplied in our story, possibly something there. Thanks for the kind comment!

Thanks for the TR - very inspirational!! Arc Dome is high on my list for this year!!

The tops of the next two ranges to the east are also designated Wilderness, each with their own character.

I have visited, studied accident reports, and found so many old newspaper articles on these historic military aircraft wrecksites that it is impossible not to treat these with the utmost reverence for the lives lost and the families so deeply affected. It's also important to remember these are archeological sites too, and as such, nothing should be disturbed or taken.

The Lady is a master at motivational skills.

Thanks Mr. Tuff!

pretty blue boots

Lowa Cevedale Pro Boots

These are the most comfortable and best mountain boots I've owned. The soles will be useless after this summer's use. I'll buy another pair immediately if I see a sale. I got the blue because I could not stand the awful lime green version. I see they now make a standard brown.
