Pothole Dome is a granite dome on the west side of Tuolumne Meadows, in Yosemite National Park located at Tioga Road mile marker 18. Near Pothole Dome is Marmot Dome.{{cite web | url=https://www.mountainproject.com/area/108556295/marmot-dome | title=Marmot Dome Rock Climbing | publisher=mountainproject.com | work=Marmot Dome Rock Climbing | accessdate=3 February 2019 | author=Lautzenheiser, Dan}} The summit of the dome is easily accessible by foot from a parking area on the Tioga Road at mile marker 18. The view from the summit includes most of Tuolumne Meadows and in the distance, Cathedral Peak.{{cite summitpost |id=153127 |name=Pothole Dome |accessdate=2014-01-19}} The dome gives evidence of many of the geologic processes at work in Yosemite during and after the last ice age. In particular, the stranded, rounded boulders from a glacier that has long since retreated, and the water-eroded "potholes" provide evidence of two ways that water can interact with granite.{{cite web |url=http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC1QN2J_pothole-dome-glacial-features |title=Pothole Dome - Glacial Features |publisher= Groundspeak, Inc. |accessdate=2014-01-19}}
