Pinchot Pass sits at an elevation of 12,090 feet (3,685 m), running roughly from east to west, situated between 12,874-foot Crater Mountain to the southwest and 13,179-foot Mount Wynne directly to the east.

The pass separates a lakes basin that includes Marjorie Lake to the north, and the Woods Creek drainage (a major tributary of the South Fork Kings River) to the south.

It and the nearby Mount Pinchot were named by Joseph Nisbet LeConte, a noted mountaineer, photographer, and cartographer of the Sierra Nevada, in 1903.
