Hotels in Sierra Nevada, Spain
The Sierra Nevada is a massive mountain range stretching 400 miles along eastern California, famous for its granite peaks like El Capitan and world-class ski resorts around Lake Tahoe. Winters bring heavy snowfall (averaging 300-500 inches), with temperatures between 20-40°F (-6 to 4°C), perfect for skiing at Mammoth Mountain or snowshoeing in Yosemite National Park, while summers are dry and warm (70-90°F / 21-32°C), ideal for hiking the John Muir Trail or kayaking on the crystal-clear waters of Lake Tahoe. If you want fewer crowds, visit in the shoulder seasons of spring (May) for wildflower blooms or fall (October) for golden aspen colors and lower lodging rates.
