An Introduction

This blog was initially created as a project for Professor Casey Allen's course, Physical Geography 1202, during the Spring semester of 2013.

 

I have elected to blog about the Sierra Nevada, a mountain range running through the states of California and Nevada. Having grown up in California, my experiences with this incredible granite batholith are many. I have explored some of its greatest geological wonders, including Yosemite and Kings Canyon; I have marveled at the power of glaciers while sunbathing on the shores of Lake Tahoe; and I have stood before the Giant Sequoia trees, humbled as if I had just bore witness to God Himself. Many of the pictures throughout this blog were taken by me during my extensive travels. The Sierra Nevada is a truly magical region of this great country, so come on a journey with me through one of nature's gifts to humanity!
