You missed it! You’ll have to go back now. At that first campsite you stopped at 7N76Y, you have to keep going on foot where the road ends. It turns into a single track trail and goes down to the top of the dome. You’ll come out of the trees to a huge vista. Keep walking down and you’ll be on the summit of a huge granite dome. It’s like a private Half Dome where you can see for a hundred miles in almost every direction. That campsite is frequented and maintained by Rock Climbers who climb the 2,500ft dome. One of my favorite places on earth. Like having a private Yosemite Valley all to yourself. You can get to the bottom and reservoir by taking Ellis rd off of HWY 88. From the bottom you will be able to see just how massive the domes really are.

Update: I 2 months ago (October 21) I traded my 2019 Tacoma TRD Sport 4x2 double cab long bed for a 2024 Tacoma double cab long bed SR-5 4WD. Would like to go exploring places like this. One tgat is on my bucket list but will have to wait till next summer is the road between La Porte, CA and Quincy, CA. Supposed go around Little Grass Valley Reservoir.

Hello new subscriber here. I live in Sacramento and often camp on the weekends in my ram pro master. Do you think my van can make it down there without airing down because I don’t own a compressor?
