Mariolumne Dome's particulars
Mariuolumne Dome is 9970 ft high, the tallest dome of Tuolumne Meadows. With a freestanding height of 700 ft feet, it is second only to Fairview Dome. At its foot on the north lies Drug Dome. Lamb Dome is 0.5 mi north. To the west and south is the long wall of Medlicott Dome, forming the western rampart of a common massif.
