North Dome is a granite dome in Yosemite National Park, California, reaching 7,546 feet and forming the southernmost summit of Indian Ridge on the northeastern wall of Yosemite Valley. It stands about six tenths of a mile north of Washington Column and the Royal Arches, and like other domes of this part of the Sierra Nevada it is carved from granite that dates to the Cretaceous period. It lies in Mariposa County within the Sierra Nevada range.
