Mount Solomons

Mount Solomons is a mountain summit within Kings Canyon National Park, rising to about 3976 meters in the Sierra Nevada range. Its steep granite slopes offer views across Evolution Basin and make it a notable landmark in this high country.

The first recorded ascent took place in 1929 when climbers M.H. Pramme and T.F. Harms established a new route to the summit. This early climbing activity helped establish the peak as a destination for high country travel.

The peak honors Theodore Solomons, an explorer who helped map sections of what became the John Muir Trail. Visitors walking through the high country feel connected to this early exploration of the Sierra Nevada.

The peak can be reached from Muir Pass using a class 2 scramble route, with summer offering the best climbing conditions. Visitors should prepare for typical mountain conditions in the Sierra Nevada when planning a climb.

The peak rises about 169 meters above Muir Pass, making it visible from multiple points along the John Muir Trail. This visibility turns it into an unexpected navigational landmark on long high country routes.
