Mount Kaweah, Mountain summit in Sequoia National Park, California, United States.

Mount Kaweah is a mountain summit in Sequoia National Park, California, sitting along the Kaweah Peaks Ridge within the Great Western Divide of the Sierra Nevada. The peak is surrounded by sharp crests, rocky formations, and steep slopes that separate two major watersheds.

Mount Kaweah is named after the Kaweah River, whose headwaters lie west of the Kaweah Peaks Ridge, though the Kaweahs themselves drain into the Kern River. The river in turn takes its name from the Kawai (Gā'wia), a group of the Yokuts people. The peak rises 13,807 ft (4,208 m), the highest point on the Kaweah Peaks Ridge, a spur of the Great Western Divide extending south from Triple Divide Peak.

The peak takes its name from the Kaweah River, whose headwaters lie west of the Kaweah Peaks Ridge, though the Kaweahs themselves drain into the Kern River. The river was named for the Kawai (Gā'wia), a group of the Yokuts people, once also known as Mariposa.

Reaching the summit requires alpine experience and proper gear for exposed ridges and steep terrain. Summer is the best time to go, as snow clears the upper slopes and weather tends to be more stable.

Mount Kaweah's southern slopes support the Foxtail Pine, a rare conifer of the Sierra Nevada. The peak is the highest point of the Kaweah Peaks Ridge, and its summit stands at 13,807 ft (4,208 m). The ridge's other main summits are Red Kaweah, Black Kaweah and Grey Kaweah.
