The Sierra Nevada is a mountain range located in the western United States, primarily in the state of California. The name “Sierra Nevada” translates to “snowy mountain range” in Spanish, reflecting its often snow-capped summits. The range stretches approximately 400 miles (640 kilometers) from north to south and is known for its dramatic landscapes, which include granite cliffs, alpine lakes, and diverse ecosystems. Notable features of the Sierra Nevada include several national parks, such as Yosemite National Park and Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, as well as Lake Tahoe, a popular recreational area.
