Shake Dome is a climbing area in Minnesota, about half a mile from the city of Moorhead. It sits right next to the Trestle 2 climbing area, which is just 0.1 mile away, so the two make an easy pairing for a day of climbing. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Moorhead show July highs around 82°F with lows near 61°F, while January highs average only 17°F. The surrounding area offers more than climbing. The Moorhead Cooridor River Trail and the Riverfront Ski Trail are both about 0.2 mile away, and the Homestead Ski Trail is about 0.4 mile off.
