The Divide forms the northern border between Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, [2], [3].

Summits and passes on the Divide

Going west to east, Mount Silliman is a prominent summit, as are Elizabeth Peak and Alta Peak, and the Divide terminates at Triple Divide Peak, [4].

Both Elizabeth Pass and Copper Mine Pass are directly on the Divide, as is Silliman Pass.

It also runs along Copper Mine Pass, and is near Cloud Canyon and Upper Big Bird Lake.
