Seasonal Notes for North Dome
Summer & Fall
I’ve only done North Dome in the snow and early spring but, like Rusk Mountain, North Dome is famous for its thick nettle stands.
Clothing can help but the terrain is tricky, so it’s easy to take an extra-painful tumble.
Pack Benadryl and, if alcohol swabs are part of your hiking kit, they’re pretty good at mitigating the worst of the sting.
