Arc Dome Trail is a 9.6-mile out-and-back hike in Nevada's Arc Dome Wilderness, part of the Austin-Tonopah Ranger District of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. The trail climbs from a low point of 8,685 feet to a high of 11,313 feet, and it is rated hard. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is on natural surface. The trail is open from about June 15 to October 30. Horses are allowed, but bikes are not. The route is long and reaches a high point well above 11,000 feet, so plan for a full day. Columbine Campground, about 2.6 miles away, is the closest place to camp. Arc Dome Summit and North Twin River Cutoff are both within about 2 miles. Stewart Creek is about 2.4 miles off.
