Places: CA-Elizabeth Pass

Elizabeth Pass-11,371' (Triple Divide Peak)   
(36.5988288, -118.5762066)

Description:
Stewart Edward White and Mrs. (Elizabeth Grant) White crossed from the head of Deadman Cañon in the Roaring River country to the Middle Fork of Kaweah River and named the pass for Mrs. White. (White: The Pass, 1906, pp. 157-158.) The account of their expedition was first published inOuting Magazine, March, April, May, 1906. By mistake, they crossed the divide a difficult route. The name is now generally accepted for the true pass, a little to the west of the one used by the Whites.  From Place Names of the High Sierra (1926) by Francis P. Farquhar


 We cached a screw-top can in the monument. It contained a brief statement of names and dates, named the pass, and claimed for Billy the honor of being the first woman to traverse it.     From The Pass by Stewart Edward White, chapter The Side Hill Camp
