Disneyland Dome is a climbing area in California's Joshua Tree National Park, set within the Joshua Tree Wilderness and managed by the National Park Service. It sits among a cluster of named rock objectives, with Thrutcher Dome and the Butler Corridor just 0.1 mile away and Fat Freddie's Cat and Inauguron Dome about 0.2 mile off, which makes it an easy anchor for a day of climbing in the park's backcountry. The area's climbing is a mix of trad and sport routes, with 14 trad and three sport lines. The grades run from 5.7 to 5.12a, and the hardest route is Brass Monkey at 5.12a. The easiest are Mr. Todd's Wild Ride at 5.7 and Spaced Mountain at 5.8. Mental Bankruptcy is a 5.10b trad climb. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Yucca Valley, which sits about 1,300 feet lower than the dome, show April highs around 73°F and October highs near 80°F. Summer is hot, with July and August highs averaging about 96°F. A fee is charged for activities in the park.
