Sierra Nevada

The Sierra Nevada is a major mountain range in the western United States, primarily in California, stretching about 400 miles from north to south. It is famous for its stunning landscapes, including towering peaks, deep valleys, and numerous national parks, such as Yosemite and Sequoia. The range is known for its diverse ecosystems, rich wildlife, and outdoor recreational opportunities, including hiking, skiing, and rock climbing. The Sierra Nevada also plays a critical role in California's water supply, as its snowpack melts and feeds rivers and reservoirs essential for agriculture and urban areas.
