Mount Stewart is on the
Sierra Nevada in California. It is located in Sequoia National Park,[1] 2.1 miles (3.4 km) southeast of Triple Divide Peak and 2.7 miles (4.3 km) northwest of Black Kaweah. The High Sierra Trail traverses Kaweah Gap south of the summit, and Lilliput Glacier
is on the mountain's northern flank.
The mountain is named for George W. Stewart, editor of Visalia Delta. Stewart was the leader of a campaign to protect the "Big Trees".[5] Francis P. Farquhar, author and former president of the Sierra Club, credits Stewart as "the father" of Sequoia National Park.[6]
