Pothole Dome

Yosemite National Park


Pothole Dome marks the western end of Tuolumne Meadows. It’s small by Yosemite standards, but the short, 200ft climb to the top offers great views of the meadows and surrounding peaks – especially, of course, at sunset. Park along Tioga Rd, then follow the trail around the dome’s western side and up to its modest summit. It’s a fairly quick trip and well worth the effort.
