We prove that in the moduli space of genus-g metric graphs the
locus of graphs with gonality at most d has the classical dimension
min{3g - 3; 2g + 2d - 5g}:
This follows from a careful parameter count to establish the upper bound and
a construction of suffciently many graphs with gonality at most d to establish
the lower bound. Here, gonality is the minimal degree of a non-degenerate harmonic
map to a tree that satisfies the Riemann-Hurwitz condition everywhere.
Along the way, we establish a convenient
