Ebbetts Pass is one of the first roads you will cross after you left the Sierras at Sonora Pass. If you are lucky, there might be some trail angels around. The pass is also a historic place: Jedediah Smith, the legendary pioneer crossed the Sierra Nevada over Ebbetts Pass.

At 8,700 feet, Ebbetts Pass is a spectacular high mountain pass that is the fulcrum point between two state parks namely Calaveras Big Trees and Grover Hot Springs. It is also a cross over point for the Pacific Crest Trail. It sits just below imposing Ebbetts Peak at 9,160 feet which is just a short easy hike away.
