The Great Western Divide is part of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Its highest peak is 13,802-foot Mount Kaweah (which is only about 700 feet shorter than Mount Whitney, the tallest mountain in the contiguous U.S.), but eight other peaks in the range are over 13,000 feet tall. This photo was taken from the base of Moro Rock.
