After hiking along the ATV road for a bit, a view of East Dome Mountain (right), Dome Mountain (center), and South Dome Mountain (left).

Progress along the ATV road toward the base of the peaks.

A nice trail on the right, which I took. I'd be returning from the left later.

Along the excellent trail.

Very pretty cliffs as I ascend beneath the western base of East Dome Mountain.

A view along the trail toward Dome (right) and South Dome (left).

View back along the trail.

Some nice brightly-colored rock. The trail leads up to the saddle seen center.

At the saddle of Dome and East Dome, heading first to East Dome. The trail is less easy to follow here.

I kept right of the rocky ridge, side-hilling on Class 2 to gain the summit of South Dome Mountain (top right).

View back up at a crucial class 2 weakness in a small cliff band.

Descending to the road seen right of center, the road I came in on. East Dome Mountain seen top left.

View back toward the slope I came down from, currently hiking within the drainage before it got too brushy and I had to leave it to find easier options to get to the road.
