The Great Western Divide is a sub-range of the Sierra Nevada in California, and forms part of the border separating Kings Canyon National Park from Sequoia National Park. It separates the watersheds of the Kaweah, Kern and Kings rivers. The Great Western Divide includes the Kings-Kern Divide and the Kaweah Peaks Ridge.
The High Sierra Trail, which begins at Crescent Meadow in Sequoia National Park, crosses the range at Kaweah Gap. Some of the summits of the Great Western Divide reach well over 13,000 feet (3,962 m).
