Located on the Kings-Kern Divide on the boundary between Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Park, Forester Pass connects the drainages of Bubbs Creek and the Kern River. At {{convert|13153|ft}}, Forester Pass is the highest point along the Pacific Crest Trail. Originally discovered by a group of United States Forest Service workers, it was subsequently named in their honor.[2] On August 26, 1930, four men, including 18-year-old [https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/170504640 Donald Downs] were injured during construction of the trail over the pass. A boulder let loose during blasting of the trail crushed Mr. Downs' arm. The men were evacuated by stretcher, Downs to Baxter Cabin and the others to Independence. Mr. Down’s arm was amputated. He died on Sept. 2, 1930 from complications of surgery. A plane crashed at Tyndall Creek after dropping medicine for Downs. A plaque commemorating his death is found on the southern side of the pass, most easily seen while walking in a northerly direction.[3] References1. ^1 {{cite gnis | id = 260262 | name = Forester Pass }} {{TulareCountyCA-geo-stub}}{{US-trail-stub}}2. ^ {{cite book | title = California Place Names: The Origin and Etymology of Current Geographical Names, Fourth edition | year = 1998 | author = Erwin G.
