Best Hikes of the Sierra Nevada
Packed with ancient granite peaks, icy blue lakes and serpentine stream
meadows, the Sierra Nevada beckons mountain-worshippers. Though the
sights may look lovely from the car, you need to stop, smell and touch to
really experience the landscape. And once you witness its burning alpen-
glow, you'll understand why Sierra Club cofounder John Muir called it the
'Range of Light.'
Tour Yosemite's high country without a bulging backpack and share the sights with
pudgy whistling marmots. Highlights include overnights at pristine May Lake, the wa-
terfalls of Glen Auli and lake-studded Vogelsang.
