Tuolumne Peak is a mountain, in Yosemite National Park, in the area of Tuolumne Meadows. It is a fractured granite, twin summited peak, and is close to geographic center of the park. Tuolumne Peak is located approximately 2.5 miles (4.0 km) northeast of Mount Hoffmann via a granite ridge-line. It is climbed less often than Hoffman, probably due to a more difficult approach.[2]

There is rock climbing, on Tuolumne Peak.[3]

Tenaya Glacier had effects, at least near Tuolumne Peak, during the Wisconsin Glacial Stage, over-topping the ridge that connects Tuolumne Peak to Mount Hoffman, isolating both tops.[4]
