University_Peak_(California)
University Peak is a thirteener in the Sierra Nevada. It is named for the University of California.[7] It is on the Sierra crest between Mount Gould to the north, and Mount Bradley to the south.[8] It lies on the boundary between Tulare County and Inyo County. Its west side is in Kings Canyon National Park while the east face is in the John Muir Wilderness.[1]
The nearest trailhead to University Peak is Onion Valley. The least technical route to its summit is an off-trail hike up the south slopes. It offers a variety of other routes from easy scrambles to rock climbing.[8] The more challenging routes led the Sierra Club's Sierra Peaks Section to list University Peak as a Mountaineers Peak.[3]
