“Glen Pass (also known as Blue Flower Pass) is a mountain pass in the Sierra Nevada, located in Kings Canyon National Park, eastern Fresno County, California, United States. This pass, on the John Muir Trail, links Rae Lakes at 10,544 feet (3,214 m) elevation with Charlotte Lake at 10,499 feet (3,200 m) elevation.
The pass was named after Glen H. Crow, a Forest Service ranger.”_Wikipedia

” Kearsarge Pass is a pass in the Sierra Nevada of California. The pass lies on the Sierra Crest at 11,709 feet (3,569 m).[1] The pass permits foot traffic between Kings Canyon National Park and the John Muir Wilderness.
The pass was named after the Kearsarge mine to the east, which was named by its owners after the USS Kearsarge, the ship that destroyed the CSS Alabama. The Alabama Hills were named after the latter ship, and the mine was named in reaction.[3] The first known crossing of Kearsarge Pass was in 1864.”_Wikipedia
