Mount Solomons is a peak in the Sierra Nevada mountain range in the U.S. state of California. It rises to 13040feet directly above Muir Pass. Mount Solomons was named after Theodore Solomons, an explorer of the Sierra Nevada mountains, who mapped and established what is now the northern half of John Muir Trail.[4]

The peak is on the Goddard Divide in Kings Canyon National Park and overlooks Evolution Basin.[5] A scramble from the Muir trail at Muir pass leads to the summit.[3]
