The Eastern Sierras might be the most amazing natural transition around. Plates crashing into each other create massive mountains which stop the Pacific storms dead in their tracks...little question which plate is pushing he other one down.
The rain block is why we have roads named "Timberline". The transition between alpine and high desert happens in 20 feet. I've been up here since I was a young kid and the smells and sights still strike a chord. Today's ride was a bit of therapy.
