Lembert Dome
Template:Short description Template:Infobox mountain
Lembert Dome is a granite dome rock formation in Yosemite National Park in the US state of California. The dome soars Template:Convert above Tuolumne Meadows and the Tuolumne River and can be hiked starting at the Tioga Road in the heart of Tuolumne Meadows, Template:Convert west of the Tioga Pass Entrance to Yosemite National Park. The landform is an example of a rôche moutonnée[1] with clear lee and stoss slopes.
Lembert Dome was named for John Baptist Lembert, sometimes erroneously spelled Lambert, who took up a homestead in a section of Tuolumne Meadows in 1885.[2][3][4] The Wheeler Survey referred to it as Soda Springs Dome, and John Muir called it Glacier Rock.[5]
Lembert Dome is near Puppy Dome,[6] and is also close to Dog Dome.[7]
Rock climbers can scale the face from the parking lot just off the Tioga Road, but hikers can simply walk up the back side or take the challenging steeper trek up the face starting from just east of the parking lot. Many technical free climbing routes have been put up.[8] Template:Wide image
