It has been so amazing to read each of the different Sierra Nevada experiences! I still remeber the first time I took a friend from Las Vegas camping just outside of Auburn, and how excited she was just to see a deer cross through the campground! So often we forget how fortunate we are to have such a beautiful outdoor playground in our own back yards. This essay is just such a great reminder about how much of an impact the Sierra Nevada can have!
