Triple Divide Peak

Triple Divide Peak rises to an elevation of 3,839 meters in the Sierra Nevada range, marking the boundary between Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks.

Climbers James Hutchinson and Charles Noble completed the first documented ascent of Triple Divide Peak in 1920, establishing initial routes to the summit.

The peak serves as a central geographical marker in California's protected wilderness, drawing mountaineers and researchers to study its geological formations.

Access to Triple Divide Peak requires a 34-mile trek from Shepherd Pass trailhead, with multiple climbing routes ranging from class 2 to class 3 difficulty.

The mountain divides three major watersheds, directing water flow between the Kern River, Kaweah River, and Kings River systems through distinct drainage patterns.
