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.{{cite web | url=https://www.mountainproject.com/area/107686072/dog-dome | title=mountainproject.com | publisher=Dog Dome Rock Climbing | date=July 3, 2012 | accessdate=27 February 2019 | author=Shore, Richard}} Dog Dome is also near to Dog Lake.

Dog Dome offers nearly the same views as from atop Lembert Dome, but the {{convert|5|mi|km}} round-trip hike leads to far smaller crowds, plus, the climb to the top is {{convert|150|ft|m}} feet shorter.{{cite web | url=https://www.myyosemitepark.com/things-to-do/yosemite-dome-scrambles | title=Scramble Up a Granite Dome in Yosemite | publisher=myyosemitepark.com | date=April 23, 2013 | accessdate=27 February 2019}}

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. {{cite book|author=Jeffrey P.
