[edit] Altitude Correct?
Almost all maps I have seen state that the altitude of this "pass" is either 1500' or at most 2200'. On what do we base the claim it is 2600'? Doug 17:01, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- Good question. There's a nice shaded and colored topographic map of the pass region drawn by the Southern California Earthquake Data Center. From that, it looks like you could get either result, depending on how you define the pass' depth. A straight line drawn from the highest regions on either side passes through a 1000' to 1500' shaded region. But if you look at the highest low point of the pass, 5 or 6 miles west-southwest of Banning, it's around 2500'.
- Probably need to look to some expert references, and site them on the article. --Justin 19:16, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
