Koip Peak

Koip Peak is a 12,968-foot-elevation (3,953 meter) 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 0.25 mi outside of Yosemite National Park's eastern boundary, and 1.0 mi 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 (orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the range.
