Dome Peak Cutoff Trail is a 1.48-mile moderate hike in Utah's High Uintas Wilderness, within the Roosevelt Ranger District of Ashley National Forest. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is an out-and-back that climbs about 672 feet from a low point of 11,881 feet to a high of 12,546 feet. The route is a short, steady climb. The full trip is about 3 miles, and the trail's shape makes it a natural pairing with other outings in the surrounding wilderness. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 75°F and lows near 45°F, while September cools to highs in the mid-60s. Gunsight and Henrys Fork Basin are both within about 2 miles. Chain Lakes-Atwood Trail is roughly 3 miles away, and Red Castle Lake, a fishing spot, is about 5 miles off.
