Sierra Nevada Mountains

The Sierra Nevada Mountains are located in California and run 400 miles from North to South.  The North end of the Mountain range is anchored by Lake Tahoe and the South is anchored by Mount Whitney.  Several notable, beautiful areas can be found in between.  These include: Convict Lake, Hope Valley, Rock Creek Canyon, Lundy Lake, Yosemite, Yosemite Valley, Thousand Island Lake, Banner Peak, Truckee, Emerald Bay, Tuolumne Meadows, Mammoth Lakes, etc.  John Muir once described the Sierra Nevada Mountains as the “Rang of light”.  In my years of travel and exploration, I have found this to be a wonderful description of the Sierras.  Sunrises and sunsets can produce some amazing color both in the sky and along the mountain top in the form of alpenglow.  Spring in the Sierras are filled with fields of wildflowers and Fall in the Sierras are filled with golden aspen trees lighting up the lakes and hill sides.  Here is just a small sample of the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains:
