Dome Land Wilderness

Located in the Sequoia National Forest in California.

This Wilderness is known for its many granite domes and unique geologic formations. The semi-arid country has elevations ranging from 3,000 feet to 9,730 feet. Vegetation is mostly mixed conifer and pinyon. Dome Land, with a total acreage of 94,695, has about 45 miles of hiking/horse trails. Trailheads on the east side are near Rockhouse Meadow and at the Long Valley Campground (BLM). Access is via Nine Mile Canyon Road M99, Sherman Pass and Cherry Hill Roads. Leading to Manter Meadow, the upper Big Meadow Trail is a rugged hike while the Lower Big Meadow Trail follows more gentle terrain. The trail from Taylor Meadow (southeast of Big Meadow) also leads to Manter Meadow. North side access is available from the Blackrock Sherman Pass Road via the Dark Canyon and Woodpecker trails.
