Bald Rock Dome, Granite summit in Plumas National Forest, California.

Bald Rock Dome is a granite summit in Plumas National Forest, Butte County, reaching 1,022 metres above sea level near Lake Oroville. A short trail through the woods leads to the dome, whose surface is broken by several crevasses and peculiar rock formations. The ruin of a small shelter built from stacked rocks stands at the site.

The Maidu, the area's indigenous people, left grinding holes called metates on the rock, used to prepare acorns and grains. The site also holds the ruin of a small shelter made from stacked rocks.
