Runner Notes

Circumnavigating the loop, with a short section on the road is a great, quick leg burner.

Description

Starting at the Dog Lake parking area near the Tuolumne Lodge. Follow the marked trail across Tioga Road towards Lembert Dome. Follow the trail to the eastern side of the dome. The Lembert Dome Spur Trail to the dome is well-marked, and cairns lead to the summit. Stay right at this junction to continue toward Dog Lake. The trail flattens out and continues up to a junction with Dog Lake Trail. Turn right here, and you'll be at the lakeshore in no time.

Flora & Fauna

Ponderosa pine, white pine.
