Puppy Dome is a granite dome in Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite National Park, California.
Setting
Puppy Dome is south of Lembert Dome, and southwest of Moraine Flat. Puppy Dome is across from Lembert Dome.[2] Near the base of Puppy Dome is Puppy Dome Falls, on the Dana Fork of the Tuolumne River.[3] The top of Puppy Dome has a view of Tuolumne Meadows, Tioga Pass, Mount Dana, Cathedral Peak, and Lembert Dome.[4]
Puppy Dome is one of the smallest domes in Yosemite National Park, next to much larger Lembert Dome.[4]
Puppy Dome is close to Tuolumne Meadows's road and parking lot, with a 5-minute approach.[5] Puppy Dome may be climbed by walking the moderately-angled rock slabs of the east face.[4]

Some beginner routes are on the easier low angled face, and several harder routes are around the far side of the dome; there is an overhanging face.[5]
