10 Iconic Mountain Ranges in California
It is the most emblematic mountain range in California, and for a good reason.
The mountain range of Sierra Nevada forms the eastern edge of the state, with peaks like Mont Whitney – the highest point in the United States contiguous to 14,505 feet (4,421 meters). It also contains Yosemite National Park, Lake Tahoe and stretching of the Pacific Crest Trail.
Expect granite cliffs, deep valleys such as the Yosemite valley and old pines of Bristlecone prospering in its high altitudes.
