Forester Pass

United States

Forester Pass is a mountain pass in the Sierra Nevada. Located on the Kings-Kern Divide and on the boundary between Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Park, Forester Pass connects the drainages of Bubbs Creek (a tributary of the South Fork Kings River) and the Kern River. The pass is traversed by the John Muir Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail, which are coincident between Crabtree Meadows and Tuolumne Meadows. At 13,153 feet (4, 009 m), Forester Pass is the highest point along the Pacific Crest Trail. It is also the southernmost of the six high mountain passes above 11,000 feet along the John Muir Trail, with (in order from north to south) Donohue Pass, Muir Pass, Mather Pass, Pinchot Pass, and Glen Pass. The PCT/JMT ascends the pass gradually from the north and switchbacks precipitously down its sheer southern side.
