Bohna Peak

6760'
(UTM 559584)

Sunday Peak is located in Kern County, about 9 miles west of Kernville, 180 miles from Los Angeles. It lies within the Sequoia National Forest. Sunday Peak was added to the HPS Peak List in 1970. See the Summit Signature for more history and some background about the name of the peak.

Peak Guides
HPS has two current documented routes to the peak. Route 1 is 3 miles round trip and climbs 1400' on forested trail to a saddle then a simple bit of cross-country to reach the summit. Route 2 is 4 miles round trip and 2000' gain up a brushy ridge to the peak.

Older Peak Guides (routes may no longer be legal or safe, use caution!): 1974, 1991 and Microsoft Word version from 2007.
