Tectonic plates began to shift, causing the range to uplift and reach its current elevation roughly 5 million years ago.

TRUCKEE, CA —The winter of 2022-23 was one for the record books, and all that snow helped make for a great ski season, filled our lakes, and brought about a great summer wildflower show.
