Simmons Peak is a mountain, in the Tuolumne Meadows region of Yosemite National Park. In difficulty, its routes range from scrambling to class 4. It is a few miles north of Mount Lyell.[2]

Simmons Peak is the 12th-highest mountain in Yosemite, if not often climbed, partially due to its not being on the Sierra Club's Sierra Peaks Section SPS List.[3]
