Toulumne Meadows Hut 🏡

Highlight • Mountain Hut

This historic hut built of natural stone is the oldest structure in this eastern high part of Yosemite National Park. It still serves as a shelter in winter, often buried under snow, and as the campground reservation office in summer.

Dog Lake

Highlight • Lake

There is a short, nice hiking trail around the lake, which is about 4.5 km long. In the beginning there is a little climb, but nothing dramatic.

Lembert Dome

Highlight • Summit

It is probably due to its gentle slope and easy accessibility that this eminence received the name of dome.

Lembert Dome Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This trail accesses Lembert Dome and Dog Lake. To continue to Dog Lake, you want to hike straight at the junction where the Lembert Dome Trail goes left. If you want to add a few miles and a little adventure, you can combine Lembert Dome with Dog Lake.

Lyell Fork crossing

Highlight • Bridge

These two iconic long distance trails here run parallel for a while, with several potential connecting trails, before merging for a section further south.

View to Puppy Dome

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Puppy Dome is one of the smallest domes in Yosemite National Park. In addition to the big brother Lembert Dome this dome runs between huge pines. Most people are so impressed by the huge formations of this area that are so famous that they walk right past the Puppy Dome, without realizing that this beautiful little dome is only two hundred meters away.
