The dome soars 800 feet (240 m) above Tuolumne Meadows and the Tuolumne River and can be hiked starting at the Tioga Road in the heart of Tuolumne Meadows, 8 miles (13 km) west of the Tioga Pass Entrance to Yosemite National Park.
The landform is an example of a rôche moutonnée[4] with clear lee and stoss slopes.
[2][5][6] The Wheeler Survey referred to it as Soda Springs Dome, and John Muir called it Glacier Rock.
[9] Rock climbers can scale the face from the parking lot just off the Tioga Road, but hikers can simply walk up the back side or take the challenging steeper trek up the face starting from just east of the parking lot.
