The Great Western Divide and the Kings-Kern Divide meet in this high Sierra Nevada landscape, where the headwaters of the Kern Wild and Scenic River begin their descent. This survey captures the intersection of Kings Canyon National Park and Sequoia National Park along the border of Fresno and Tulare counties. The terrain is defined by massive granite peaks, including Mt Brewer, Milestone Mtn, and Mt Ericsson. A dense network of footpaths connects these remote basins, notably the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl and various routes such as the Lake South America Trl and Upper Kern Canyon Trl. Alpine water bodies like Lake Reflection and Lake South America sit below high-altitude crossings like Longley Pass and Harrison Pass, illustrating the geographic complexity of the southern Sierra crest.
