Dog Dome is a granite dome in the Tuolumne Meadows area of Yosemite National Park. Dog Dome is quite near Lembert Dome, which is just northeast. ^[2] Dog Dome is also near to Dog Lake.

Dog Dome offers nearly the same views as from atop Lembert Dome, but the 5 miles (8.0 km) round-trip hike leads to far smaller crowds, plus, the climb to the top is 150 feet (46 m) feet shorter. ^[3]

Only from a certain angle is Dog Dome domelike in appearance; it has a gentle slope on one side, and a sharp slope on the other. ^[4] See roche moutonnée.
