Tehachapi Pass is a mountain pass crossing the Tehachapi Mountains in Kern County California in the United States. Traditionally the pass marks the northeast end of the Tehachapis and the south end of the Sierra Nevada range. The route is a principal connector between the San Joaquin Valley and the Mojave Desert. The Native American Kitanemuk people used the pass as a trade route before the American settlement of the region in the 1800s.
