With Tower and Dome
Up Hematite Gulch, on to Macomber, round to Tower, and then the traverse to Dome, involving a drop down into Cataract Basin. N ridge of Dome not as bad as it looks. Down via NE ridge of Dome and out via S Fork Animas trail.

With Macomber Pk & Tower Mountain
Late spring hike on a day of unsettled weather. Did a loop over Macomber, Tower & Dome from the south. Cataract Gulch is so named for a reason; we descended it and had to find our way through sketchy cliff bands.

Eureka Basin Tour
First time 5/27/12: Camped in Eureka Gulch, followed the south fork of the Animas to Dome Mtn's north ridge, then over to Tower, East Storm, Proposal, Emery and Bonita before following the Eureka road and some bushwhacking back to our camp. Long loop, but a rewarding day!
Second 7/4/20: North ridge up and northeast ridge down with Kevin, Sarah, Shawn, and Amanda. Started to rain our way down and was pretty wet in the valley. 4WD road leading to the trailhead is flooded, avy debris from 2019 diverted the creek into the road. Not an issue for a stock Xterra but would be cautious in high runoff.
