The hike to Lembert Dome is relatively easy at a total distance of 2.8 miles round trip, beginning at an elevation of 8,500 feet with a total altitude gain of 800 feet. The views from the top of Lembert Dome are fantastic, especially on a clear day.

Lembert Dome is a granite dome rock formation in Yosemite National Park in the U.S. state of California. The dome soars 800 feet above Tuolumne Meadows and the Tuolumne River and can be hiked starting at the Tioga Road in the heart of Tuolumne Meadows, 8 miles west of the Tioga Pass Entrance to Yosemite National Park.

Lembert Dome was named for Jean Baptiste Lembert, sometimes mistakenly referred to as John Lambert, who took up a homestead in a section of Tuolumne Meadows in 1865. By 1879 the Wheeler Survey referred to it as Soda Springs Dome. John Muir called it Glacier Rock.

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.
