Located in the small town of Lee Vining, Mono Dome Trail is a gently graded climb along a well marked road that weaves through aspen groves, pines, pinyon pines, and firs. The trail crosses and follows alongside a creek where the road eventually disappears and its a cross country trek through a rocky, open, and steep terrain to Mono Dome. There are spectacular views from the dome of Mono Lake, Mount Dana, and Mount Gibbs. The slope grade beyond the creek is steep and not recommended for cross-country skiers.
