Kingston Peak (California)

Kingston Peak is the only named peak in the Kingston Range, a small desert mountain range in San Bernardino County, California, in the Mojave Desert.

The highest point in the Kingston Range's 17-mile U-shaped continuous ridgeline, the peak has an elevation of 7,326 feet (2,233 metres) and a topographic prominence of 3,727 ft (1,136 m).

One of only three white fir stands in the California deserts is found on the slopes of two drainages just below the summit of Kingston Peak.

It dates back at least to the early 1860s and possibly earlier.

One account says it was applied by a member of John C. Frémont's second expedition into the American West, after the settlement of Kingston, New York.
