Dome Plateau - BLM 345

Trail Overview

Non-Resident OHV permits apply to ATVs, UTVs, and dirt bikes. Plated street-legal vehicles typically do not need one on legal motorized routes. This route begins as a smooth, maintained dirt road that is easy to travel and suitable for most high-clearance 4x4s. As you continue farther in, the road transitions into a more primitive and unmaintained track where the surface becomes rougher with scattered rocks and uneven terrain. While the trail grows more rugged, it remains manageable for most drivers with basic off-road experience. Along the way, you will encounter a few slightly steeper hills that include small rock ledges, but none of the obstacles are especially difficult or highly technical. Careful tire placement is all that is typically needed. The reward at the end of the route is a scenic overlook offering expansive views of the surrounding landscape, making this a worthwhile run for those looking for an easy adventure with a great destination.
