We drove to the Young Lakes Trailhead in Tuolomne Meadows in Yosemite National Park to do a loop hike around Lembert Dome, to Dog Lake and up Lembert Done. We did the loop clockwise starting on the Dog Lake Trail fr 4.5 miles and 835 ft of gain. View of the lower part of Lembert Dome from near the trailhead.
Early on the trail went through the meadow where we saw these peaks. zoom of the peaks
Most of the trail was in the woods.
Dog Lake was 0.3 miles one way off of our loop route. View of Dog Lake
By the time we had reached the side trail up Lembert Dome, we had already done most of the gain.

Getting closer to the top, high above the meadows
I made it up to where the rock turns the lighter color,
and around to the side, before deciding I wasn't comfortable going up to the tippy top.
After coming down from Lembert Dome we hiked down to the Dog Lake Trailhead, walked through the parking lot, then follow the Pacific Crest Trail and John Muir Trail for less than a mile back to our original trailhead. 
Most of this was in the woods parallel to the road.
We did go through the meadow for a while with views of some peaks.
