"Sierras seen from White Mountains"

Last spring I took a photo trip along the Eastern Sierras. The west side of the Sierras is the wet side, as it faces the Pacific Ocean. On the west side we have Sequoia and Yosemite National Parks. The Sierras are so high (Mt. Whitney is here, the highest point in the continental United States) that most rain clouds can't make it over the mountains, so the Eastern Sierras and beyond is desert. Giant Sequoia trees on the west side, tumbleweeds on the east side.
