description:
Towering cedar forest and cabin community in the Southern Sierra Nevada. Mostly residential, many full timers. A perfect high elevation escape in the brutal BAKO summer heat. Better air quality too. Alta Sierra is spread out all over the forest, with creeks, one lane bridges, and curvy roads. It sports one really nice restaurant that has become an icon in the area. A small family ski resort, dirt road access into Sequoia National Forest, plus bunch of trails and campgrounds. Mountain bike, or hiking, snowmo or snow shoeing.
