Eastern Sierra
The Eastern Sierra is the remote east side of the Sierra Nevada region of California, covering most of Mono County and a portion of Inyo County. The desert-like yearly rainfalls compete with small streams draining down from the snow-covered mountains to create a barren land with regions of verdant green.
