Description

The Eastern Sierra is the remote east side of the Sierra Nevada region of California. 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.

The largest industry in the Eastern Sierra is tourism. Lodging and campsites are plentiful. Activities that appeal to the traveler are various and plentiful.

The Eastern Sierra is part of the Great Basin. Water that falls in the Great Basin does not flow naturally into an ocean. Instead, water flows into various inland lakes such as Mono Lake and Walker Lake.
