Rarely seen Dome Peak is the monarch of the Cascade Crest north of Glacier Peak. The Dana and the Dome, two large glaciers north and west of the peak, offer excellent spring skiing amid spectacular scenery.
The glaciers are crevassed, but easily negotiable. The approach to Dome Peak is long—18 miles to the glacier—but its variety alleviates some of the misery of the hike and, in early season, snow cover makes for rapid downhill travel. Downey Creek Trail had 100 tree blowdowns across it in June 1998. Difficulties: High avalanche potential; glacier travel; routefinding required; permit/fee area.
