About this event
The Preserve/Dome Trail. Rating: C***. Pace: Moderate [533, 08:00 AM, $0]. The latest addition to the SaddleBrooke Backyard Trails, this route begins in the foothills east of The Preserve and peregrinates to the Dome. We will first meet at Mountain View and carpool to the trailhead. The hike starts at the east end of E Willow Canyon Rd. After crossing the Canada del Oro wash, the trail continues into the foothill through beautiful granite formations and native desert flora. It first passes Balance Rock, continues along the ridgeline below Titanic Rock, and then past Helmet Rock until it intersects the Dome Extension Trail. It then continues to Dome Rock, with an option to visit the double-crested saguaro. Along the entire way are great views of SaddleBrooke, Catalina, and the Samaniego Ridge. The special condition designation*** is that this is a strenuous route with high steps, loose rock, and steep climbs. Hiking poles are recommended.
