Nature
Kingston Peak, in the Mojave Desert of eastern California, is the only named summit in the Kingston Range and the highest point on its U-shaped ridgeline at 7,326 feet. Its great topographic prominence makes it one of the most prominent mountains in the contiguous United States and among California’s most prominent peaks. Within the Kingston Range Wilderness, it is notable not only for its commanding rise above the desert but also for unusual high-elevation plant communities, including one of only three white fir stands in the California deserts. Part of the Basin and Range Province, it also reflects the fault-block geography that defines much of the interior American West.
