Welcome to Kaweah Kam, which offers the iconic view from Three Rivers, California, that is like no other on the west side of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. It’s only here that one can be at less than 1,000 feet (300 meters) elevation and have an unobstructed view of the Sierra’s Great Western Divide and its peaks towering over 11,000 feet (3,350 meters). Check in often because the scene changes with the time of day and the weather conditions, and to see for yourself why John Muir called these mountains the Range of Light.
