Big Black Dome is 11,353 feet high. There were some fires near the area so it was smoky the entire day and smelled pretty bad. It got a little better as the afternoon wore on but you could obviously see and smell the fires in the area. The actual hike to the top was pretty neat. It's one of the easier 11k peak I have done. I parked pretty far down but I'm pretty sure you can get a lot closer if you really want to. Overall I really liked the hike. I'm pretty sure I could have seen quite a few other peaks around the other area if it had been clear, like Altair or Standhope, or even the Lost Rivers to the northeast.
