The Sierra National Forest, located on the western slope of the central Sierra Nevada, is known for spectacular mountain scenery and abundant natural resources. Placed under Federal protection and management in 1893, when the area was designated the Sierra Forest Reserve, these lands have met public needs for wood, water and outdoor recreation for more than a century. Today, the Forest's many developed recreation areas and its rugged wilderness make it one of the most poplar National Forest in the United States. The Sierra National Forest encompasses more than 1.3 million acres between 900 and 13,986 feet elevation. The terrain includes rolling, oak-covered foothills, heavy forested middle elevation slopes and the starkly beautiful alpines landscape of the High Sierra. Abundant fish and wildlife, varied mountain flora and fauna, and numerous recreation opportunities make the Sierra National Forest and outdoor lover's paradise.
