University Peak is a thirteener in the Sierra Nevada. It is named for the University of California.[6] It is on the Sierra crest between Mount Gould to the north, and Mount Bradley to the south.[7] It lies partly in Tulare County and partly in Inyo County. Its west side is in Kings Canyon National Park while the east face is in the John Muir Wilderness.[4]
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.[7] The more challenging routes led the Sierra Club's Sierra Peaks Section to list University as a Mountaineers Peak.[2]
