About this campground

The Dominguez Cutoff Trail #629 serves as a connecting route from the  Forest Service Road #418 near the BLM/Forest Boundary to the Dominguez Road, FSR #408 near Dominguez Ridge.  The trail descends gradually from the upper trailhead through open sage parks and mixed pinyon-juniper and oakbrush.  As the trail descends toward sage basin, Gibbler Mountain is visible to the northeast.  In sage flats the trail levels out until it gradually descends through mixed Pinon Juniper, Sage and Oakbrush.
