Koip Peak

Koip Peak is a summit in Mono County, California, in the United States. It is located in the Ansel Adams Wilderness, on land managed by Inyo National Forest. It is approximately outside of Yosemite National Park's eastern boundary, and west of Parker Peak.
Koip is derived from a Western Numic name meaning "mountain sheep". Bighorn sheep roam in the area.

Climate

According to the Köppen climate classification system, Koip Peak is located in an alpine climate zone. Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Sierra Nevada mountains. As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the range.
