Granite dome with spectacular views from its peak

How to Get There

Overview

This granite dome may not be as visible as Moro Rock from below, but views from its peak are also spectacular. At the northern end of Sequoia National Park near Dorst Campground, the Little Baldy Trail climbs 1.7 miles (2.7 km) along steep switchbacks, gaining 1,000 feet (300 m) in elevation.

At the top, look east to Mount Silliman, Alta Peak, and the Great Western Divide. To the west, views extend over mountain ranges into the foothills on clear days.

In summer, dozens of species of wildflowers can be seen blooming along the trail. If you hike the trail in July, Look for clusters of tent caterpillars emerging from weblike nests on shrubs along the trail.
