Pywiack Dome is a prominent 600 foot granite dome in Yosemite National Park, located 0.7 miles (1.1 km) north-east of Tenaya Lake, 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Tuolumne Meadows and 200 feet (61.0 m) from the Tioga Road.[3] It is quite near Harlequin Dome,[4] and North and South Whizz Domes are north.
Josiah Whitney the head of California Geological Survey wrote in 1863 about Pywiack Dome in Geology:
At the head of Lake Tenaya is a very conspicuous conical knob of bare granite, about 800 feet high, the sides of which are everywhere finely polished and grooved by former glaciers.[5]
