First full view of Sentinel Dome as we ascended the trail
As we hiked the trail to Sentinel Dome, we had great expectations. The trail was fairly busy so we knew it had a reputation of being worthy. Another clue that the hike to the dome was popular was the lack of room in the nearby parking areas. Luckily, parking along the road, but not on the road, was permitted. We secured the car and began our trek along the Sentinel Dome trail.
There was some rock scrambling, but the trail is certainly moderate with various ups and downs. The elevation gain up to the dome was not too bad. As we rounded one part of the trail, the picture above was the first full view we had of the dome. This mountain top was well rounded like one would expect it to be. (To be continued…)
