Easily the most conspicuous geographic feature in the state of California, the Sierra Nevada are a single mountain range nearly 400 miles long, and 50 miles wide. The Sierra is a large block of batholith granite, and most of its uplift has taken place in the last 3 million years. Most of the uplift has taken place along a deep fissure called the Sierra Nevada fault zone, which lies along the base of the steep easter wall of the range. Its unique scenery has captured the hearts of naturalists and artists, whose work has made the landscape of the Sierra Nevada familiar all over the world.
