Milestone Mountain, Mountain peak in Tulare County, California
Milestone Mountain reaches an elevation of 13,644 feet, marking a natural boundary between Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks in the Sierra Nevada range.
The first documented climb to the summit occurred on July 14, 1912, when William Colby, Francis Farquhar, and Robert Price successfully completed their expedition.
The mountain earned its name in 1873 due to the distinctive obelisk formation at its peak, which continues to serve as a reference point for mountaineers.
Reaching the summit requires navigating class 3 climbing sections, with the most direct route approaching from the south side of the mountain.
The mountain stands as part of the Great Western Divide, positioned 0.6 miles south of Midway Mountain and 3.8 miles northeast of Triple Divide Peak.
