Red Kaweah lies on the Kaweah Peaks Ridge in Sequoia National Park, 1.8 miles north of Mount Kaweah and 0.7 miles south of Black Kaweah. The park was established in 1890, when the high Sierra terrain around the Kaweah peaks was withdrawn from logging and grazing. The ridge's granitic summits, including Red Kaweah at 4,151 meters, have remained roadless since then.
The name Kaweah comes from the Yokutsan language and honors the Yokuts people who lived in this region long before Europeans arrived.
