Granite Dome is a 10,320-foot-elevation (3,146 meter) mountain summit located in Tuolumne County, California, United States.

Granite Dome is set within the Emigrant Wilderness on land managed by Stanislaus National Forest.

The landform's descriptive toponym was applied by the USGS, has been officially adopted by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, and has appeared in publications since at least 1899.

[6] Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Sierra Nevada mountains.

As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks (orographic lift), causing moisture in the form of rain or snowfall to drop onto the range.
