Kennedy Mountain (Fresno County, California)

Kennedy Mountain is an 11,433-foot-elevation (3,485 meter) summit located in Fresno County, California, United States.

It is situated in Kings Canyon National Park, on Monarch Divide which is west of the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountain range.

The first ascent of the summit was made by a 1903 USGS survey party, and likely named for one of the agency's employees.

[8] Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Sierra Nevada mountains.

As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks (orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the range.
