Park at the turn off for Lamb's Knoll parking ( goo.gl/maps/GQtBUAc4pfs3c9WG6 ). From there, walk, bike, or rollerblade south on the Kolob Terrace road for 0.75 miles till you reach an old pull-off on the left hand side of the road ( goo.gl/maps/73UXJ3CNp1w8hFqh6 ). Note, at this point you are now in Zion National Park boundaries, as indicated by the maroon color of the road. If you park here, you'll get a ticket, be towed, or get a rude note from park rangers, even if you display your pass on your dashboard.
From this pullout, walk along the old sandy/dirt road for half a mile. The road crosses a wash and takes a slightly round about path to get you closer to the north face of Tabernacle Dome. The road is not maintained and can be hard to follow at times but staying on it will save you from a lot of miserable bushwhacking and prevent the creation of pointless social trails. You'll arrive at a big clearing with a massive ponderosa pine tree. A cabin used to stand here.
