Fairview Dome (T28) Details
John Muir wrote of the peak: "One of the best general views of the brightest and best of the Yosemite Park landscapes that every Yosemite tourist should see, is to be had from the top of Fairview Dome, a lofty conoidal rock near Cathedral Peak that long ago I named the Tuolumne Glacier Monument, one of the most striking and best preserved of the domes... The general view from the summit consists of a sublime assemblage of ice-born rocks and mountains, long wavering ridges, meadows, lakes, and forest-covered moraines, hundreds of square miles of them." Today the north face of Fairview Dome is a popular rock climbing route and is listed in the classic guidebook "Fifty Classic Climbs of North America." Roadside marker: T28
