Mariuolumne Dome is a climbing area in Yosemite National Park, within the Yosemite Wilderness, on land managed by the National Park Service. It sits in the high country of the park, and a fee is charged for visits. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Tuolumne Meadows show July highs around 71°F with lows near 38°F, and the dome sits a few hundred feet higher than that station, so temperatures there run a little cooler. Several climbing areas lie close by, including West Face about 0.1 mile away and Lost Wall and Drug Dome each about 0.2 mile off. Tenaya Lake Trail is about half a mile away for a hike.
