Trail Name: St. Peters Dome

Location:  The site is approximately 15 miles south of Ashland with access from FR 199 (County Line Road)

Hike Distance:  3.6 Miles out and back

Tips: It's a rocky hike to the top so watch your step. Trail can also be muddy at times  and there is a total ascent of nearly 500 feet.  The view at the top is well worth it.  Take water and snacks to have on the rock.  In the spring you can spot many native wild flowers along the way.
