I took this photo while cruising along the Tiaga Pass Road in Yosemite National Park on a crisp clear Fall day in October 2008.

Lembert Dome is a granite dome rock formation in Yosemite National Park in the U.S. state of California The dome soars 800 feet (240 m) above Tuolumne Meadows and the Tuolumne River and can be hiked starting at the Tioga Road in the heart of Tuolumne Meadows, 8 miles (13 km) west of the Tioga Pass Entrance to Yosemite National Park.
Lembert Dome was named for John Baptist Lembert who took up a homesteader in a section of Tuolumne Meadows in 1865.
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.
