A view of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range from the Rainbow Trail located in the Taylor Creek Visitors Center U.S. Forest Service located in the City of South Lake Tahoe in El Dorado County, California U.S.A.
Sierra Nevada, also called Sierra Nevadas, major mountain range of western North America, running along the eastern edge of the U.S. state of California. Its great mass lies between the large Central Valley depression to the west and the Basin and Range Province to the east. Extending more than 250 miles (400 kilometres) northward from the Mojave Desert to the Cascade Range of northern California and Oregon, the Sierra Nevada varies from about 80 miles wide at Lake Tahoe to about 50 miles wide in the south. Its magnificent skyline and spectacular landscapes make it one of the most beautiful physical features of the United States. Biologically, it is home to the largest trees in the world—the giant sequoias. As a recreation centre, its year-round facilities prove a magnet to the inhabitants of the huge urban areas of California, and it has considerable importance as a source of power and water. It was the focus of the celebrated California gold rush.

Not a whole lot of open water in Nevada ... so when you see it best to stop and get some snaps ... lone cow out there also found this open water.

We found this little side road off of NorthShore Road. It would have been great if we had a 4x4 to expore a little further.
Virginia City developed as a boomtown with the 1859 discovery of the Comstock Lode, the first major silver deposit discovery in the United States, with numerous mines opening. The population peaked in the mid-1870s, with an estimated 25,000 residents. The mines' output declined after 1878, and the population declined as a result. As of the 2010 Census, the population of Virginia City was about 855, and that of Storey County was 4,000.
I love traveling the southwest you have so many days with just great weather without the haze that makes landscape photography a pain in the derriere back here in the northeast whenever the temperature goes pass the mid sixties.
