Sierra Nevada peaks meet the arid expanse of the Mojave Desert in this high-desert landscape of eastern California. The area is defined by its dramatic elevation changes and essential water infrastructure, specifically where the Los Angeles Aqueduct and Second Los Angeles Aqueduct parallel the base of the mountains. These engineering feats represent the vital link between the eastern Sierra runoff and the urban development of Southern California.
