Mount Solomons is a 13,040-foot peak in California’s Sierra Nevada that rises directly above Muir Pass in Kings Canyon National Park. Set on the Goddard Divide and overlooking Evolution Basin, it stands within a dramatic high glaciated landscape along the John Muir Trail. The mountain honors Theodore Solomons, a Sierra Nevada explorer who mapped and established what became the northern half of the John Muir Trail. Because its summit can be reached by a scramble from Muir Pass, it is a prominent landmark for hikers traveling this elevated section of the range.
