About the Eastern Sierra
Extending some 400 miles north to south, the Eastern Sierra mountain range includes some of America’s most remarkable landscapes. Lying mostly in California with a small portion in Nevada, the Sierra Nevada is home to three national parks: Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon; 20 wilderness areas; and two monuments. Other notable Sierra features include Lake Tahoe, the largest alpine lake in North America, and 14,505-foot Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States.
About the Photographer Londie Padelsky
A resident of the Eastern Sierra since 1982, Londie has explored and photographed the Sierra Nevada backcountry by foot and on horseback for weeks at a time. On one such adventure Londie led a photo expedition, along with a cowboy packer leading five mules carrying camera equipment and household essentials. For two months they rode more than 250 miles across the rugged Sierra Nevada on the John Muir Trail. In addition to photographs from the Sierra Nevada, Londie is recognized for a variety of subjects photographed throughout the United States and abroad. Her images have appeared in national magazines, books, and in hundreds of calendars.
