Ash Mountain Entrance Sign
Ash Mountain Entrance Sign, National Park entrance sign at Indian Head River Trailhead, United States.
The wooden entrance sign features a carved profile design measuring ten feet wide by four feet high and one foot thick.
Civilian Conservation Corps craftsmen constructed the sign in 1935, following designs by National Park Service architect Merel S. Sager and landscape architect Harold G. Fowler.
The carved profile on the sign represents Sequoyah, a figure from Cherokee heritage, though this tribe did not inhabit the California region.
Located at coordinates 36.487484, -118.836689, the sign marks the main entrance to Sequoia National Park and provides directional information for visitors.
During the 2021 KNP Complex Fire threat, preservation teams wrapped the historic wooden sign in protective foil to safeguard it from damage.
