Mount Starr King, Granite dome summit in Mariposa County, United States.

Mount Starr King is a symmetrical granite dome in Yosemite National Park, rising to 9,096 feet (2,772 m) above sea level. Its easiest climbing routes are rated low class 5 on the Yosemite Decimal System, so reaching the top requires technical skill or equipment.

The sources record no first-ascent date or route for Mount Starr King, so the 1876 claim cannot be kept. The dome carries several older names, among them Kings Peak, See-wah-lam, South Dome and Tis-sa-ack, and it was named for Thomas Starr King, a Unitarian preacher and political activist. It stands within Yosemite National Park and the Yosemite Wilderness.

The peak honours Thomas Starr King, a Unitarian preacher and political activist. Earlier names recorded for the dome include Kings Peak, See-wah-lam, South Dome and Tis-sa-ack, so the summit has carried several designations besides the one used today.
