North Dome Difference – Year of Yosemite (YOY) – Day 255

Jeff

North Dome Difference

North Dome

Another dome visible from the Mirror Lake Trail in addition to Half Dome, is North Dome. Prior to my visit to Yosemite, I didn’t know about North Dome. I am not sure how many domes are named at Yosemite, but Half Dome obviously has “competitors.”

If you look at the picture of Lembert Dome and the photograph of Half Dome, you will notice that they have a very flat side. As far as I can tell, North Dome does not. What is prominent is the rounded protrusion seen in the photograph above; a rather bulbous feature.

Lembert Dome Cairn Art- Year of Yosemite (YOY) – Day 252

Jeff

Artistic cairn layout at Lembert Dome

Artistic cairn layout near Lembert Dome Trailhead

Near the trail head of Lembert Dome, some hikers showed their artistic side by creating a grouping of cairns. These rock formations are ostensibly used to guide others in areas where the path may not be clear. There is some “controversy” about these unofficial guide posts primarily because they are unofficial. There have been times when not-so-funny jokesters deliberately mislead others.

A grouping like this may cause confusing since they appear in a rounded formation without a clear direction. There were others in the area that did point the way, however.
