The Sierra Nevada is a mountain range in the Western United States, between the Central Valley of California and the Great Basin. The vast majority of the range lies in the state of California, although the Carson Range spur lies primarily in Nevada. The Sierra Nevada is part of the American Cordillera, an almost continuous chain of mountain ranges that forms the western "backbone" of the Americas.
The Sierra runs 400 miles (640 km) north-south and its width ranges from 50 miles (80 km) to 80 miles (130 km) across east-west.[3] Notable features include General Sherman, the largest tree in the world by volume; Lake Tahoe, the largest alpine lake in North America; Mount Whitney at 14,505 ft (4,421 m), the highest point in the contiguous United States; and Yosemite Valley sculpted by glaciers from one-hundred-million-year-old granite, containing high waterfalls. The Sierra is home to three national parks, twenty wilderness areas, and two national monuments. These areas include Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon National Parks; and Devils Postpile National Monument.
More than one hundred million years ago during the Nevadan orogeny, granite formed deep underground. The range started to uplift less than five million years ago, and erosion by glaciers exposed the granite and formed the light-colored mountains and cliffs that make up the range. The uplift caused a wide range of elevations and climates in the Sierra Nevada, which are reflected by the presence of five life zones (areas with similar plant and animal communities). Uplift continues due to faulting caused by tectonic forces, creating spectacular fault block escarpments along the eastern edge of the southern Sierra.
The Sierra Nevada has played an important role in the history of California and the United States. The California Gold Rush occurred in the western foothills from 1848 through 1855. Due to its inaccessibility, the range was not fully explored until 1912.

Be sure to pick up your water filtration system using the link in the description to receive 30% off👍🏻✌🏻🤠 Also, ask any questions you may have for my upcoming Q&A video - cheers! 🎉
Great job with the video. I've been backpacking in the Sierras for over 50 years but never tire of exploring new country. Just ordered the water filter.
Being alone and happy is a super power. Good for you and that looked like such an amazing place to camp
Great video, love the Sierra. Duck Lake TH is amazing, with some tough uphill to start the climb!
I have to say, i like all your videos. just my taste!
Thank you!!❤️👍🏻
Really great video! And look at you pushing product.😋 Looks like nice bag though, so I'll check out the site. ATB!
Very nice. Such variety at Mammoth, whether a short overnighter or long distance multi day, there's beautiful destinations near and far.
What a beautiful spot! Great video, almost felt like I was in the Sierra!
Beautiful hike, very ideal. I'm not sure I could do flip flops in the sierra though. ( What happened to the fish?) That water filtration is fantastic.
Tossed him back in as he was a tiny little guy.
Cool
Another fine video Scotty! Just ordered 2 of those water bags. Try the Pistol Pete mini and line through rubber twist bubble from Wally Mart, seem to work real well when the fish get picky.
Thank you! Enjoyed this one so much. Thanks for the recommendation!👍🏻
You may have cooked away from your tent but you ate right next to it
what lake / trail is this hike??
ah~ read the comments, it's Skelton lake
Hello, your video is lovely! Could I share this by reposting your channel on a new platform named Ganjing World? For sure that I will not change anything. If you are okay with that, please let me know. Thank you!
Thank you! Yes of course, perfectly fine to share 👍🏻
Thank you. I didn't realize how much I needed that.
Skelton Lake?
37.576916°, -118.976370°
It was Skelton! 👍🏻
@@Sheety33 The clues for Skelton were there.
First, just the late start of the hike and the remaining daylight when you set up camp suggested a shorter distance.
At 05:47 is the beach my granddaughter and I hiked to two or three summers ago. You were standing on the tip of that small peninsula at the north end of the main body of the lake and panning southward. (Put 37.576916°, -118.976370° into Google Earth). Additionally, in the very next scene you were at your campsite and setting up the tent. You couldn't have gone far. The late-afternoon sun angle and the position of the water indicated you were camping on that peninsula or along its NW-trending extension.
Also, at the north end of the main body of the lake is a relatively narrow finger of water, 125' to 250' wide, extending northwestward for about 800 feet. On the west side of that is a small peninsula about 125' by 125' in size. It appears at 11:31 you may be standing on the bank of the north end of that peninsula. The small peninsula may also be visible at 20:44 when you're at what appears to be the outlet of Skelton.
Additionally, go to Street View in Google Earth at the coordinates, above, and then pan a 360 to map the horizon formed by the surrounding mountains. Particularly the fishing shots match the mountains' silhouettes.
That semester of aerial-photo and satellite interpretation taught by my ex-CIA (Cuban-missile crisis era) professor was not wasted ... but it's also the case that your videos, more than others I watch, really do take the viewer along on the hike by capturing the hike. I know what to expect if i decide to hoof it while always feeling like I've already been there.
@@JonJaeden amazing! You nailed my coordinates exactly! Appreciate your comment!!
