Kings Canyon Peaks and Passes

Kings Canyon National Park is home to some of the most dramatic topographic relief in the Sierra Nevada. This collection highlights the park's formidable geology, ranging from the 11,955-foot Muir Pass to the sheer granite walls of Muro Blanco and the Great Cliffs. The list includes prominent summits like the 13,660-foot Midway Mountain on the Great Western Divide and Charlotte Dome, a renowned backcountry climbing site. These landmarks define the rugged wilderness of the High Sierra and the deep glacial canyons of the Kings River.
