Eastern side of the Sierras

The eastern side of the Sierra Nevada Range is so different from the Western side. This view near Hwy 395 and Hwy 108 shows the dry, sage in the foreground and the rapid, steep eastern slope of the Sierras behind it. The western side is filled with views of 70 miles of slowly changing conifers and trees before it reaches the same snow capped peaks.
