High elevation without the climb. A paved back road will lead you up to this spectacular place. But be warned, way out in these back woods, it's a full day driving trip.
Your jaw will drop when you see how much granite is at this spectacular place. Almost as impresive as Yosemite. In a land of glaciated domes & alpine Sierra bliss, you wonder how they cold flood such a gorgeous valley with water to make California's growth happen. Inside Sierra National Forest
By far the state's most gorgeous reservoir, this place is far from any town, any Interstates & hard to reach, but well worth a few days visit once you do.
