Craggy Dome
The highest point in the Craggy Gardens Visitors Center Area is Craggy Dome with no official trial to the summit. But, a good but often overgrowing trail does exist up the north ridge. This trail starts on the Mountains-To-Sea-Trail but shortly in, a spur breaks off and starts heading up the ridge. At the summit, the brush is chest high but there are views in many directions.
Summit Elevation: 6,080 feet
Hiking Distance: 0.5 miles
Elevation Gain: 500 feet
Prominence: 1,000 feet
