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.
Originally discovered by a group of United States Forest Service workers, it was subsequently named in their honor.[2]
