The Kaweah Gap in the Great Western Divide

The Great Western Divide is a small side range of the Sierra Nevada mountain chain in California. The range lies within Sequoia National Park, and separates the watersheds of the Kaweah and Kern rivers. The High Sierra Trail, which begins at Crescent Meadow in Sequoia National Park, crosses the range at Kaweah Gap. Some of the summits of the Great Western Divide reach 13,000 feet above sea level.
