Yosemite & the Sierra
Nevada
Why Go?
An outdoor adventurer's wonderland, the Sierra Nevada is a year-round pageant of snow
sports, white-water rafting, hiking, cycling and rock climbing. Skiers and snowboarders
blaze through hushed pine-tree slopes, and wilderness seekers come to escape the stresses
of modern civilization.
With fierce granite mountains standing watch over high-altitude lakes, the eastern spine
of California is a formidable but exquisite topographical barrier enclosing magnificent nat-
ural landscapes. And interspersed between its river canyons and 14,000ft peaks are the de-
composing ghost towns left behind by California's early settlers, bubbling natural hot
springs and Native American tribes that still call it home.
In the majestic national parks of Yosemite and Sequoia & Kings Canyon, visitors will
be humbled by the groves of solemn giant sequoias, ancient rock formations and valleys,
and the ever-present opportunity to see bears and other wildlife.
