This photograph was taken of the majestic Sierra Nevadas. This mountain range is unique due to a number of reasons. The jagged peaks and sharp ridges show how it was carved by glaciers. It has the tallest peak in the 48 states, Mount Whitney. The range is home to the largest tree on earth, the General Sherman Tree. There are a total of five national parks found in this mountain range. I love living in a place where I see the beauty of the Sierra Nevadas on a daily basis. The beauty and majesty of these mountains bring me great joy.
