This gallery mainly exhibits images from the Sierra Nevada, as well as the nearby Alabama Hills and the amazing Bristlecone Pines of the White Mountains. The Sierra Nevada is the largest stretch of wild country in the 'lower 48' of the United States, and a superb alpine landscape. Pioneer conservationist John Muir came to love the Sierra, which he described as the 'range of light'. He made the area pivotal in the birth of the modern nature conservation and national park movement.
