Forester Pass is a mountain pass in the Sierra Nevada. Located on the Kings-Kern Divide on the boundary between Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Park, Forester Pass connects the drainages of Bubbs Creek and the Kern River. At 13,153 feet (4,009 m), Forester Pass is the highest point along the Pacific Crest Trail and the John Muir Trail (as Trail Crest is after the southern terminus on Mount Whitney).
Originally discovered by a group of United States Forest Service workers, it was subsequently named in their honor.[2]
