Hotels in High Sierras


Wild and free and open to all, the High Sierras evoke the very spirit of America the Beautiful. With snow-covered peaks the mountains rise along the backbone of California, towering over a natural utopia. Waterfalls blast over granite cliffs and rivers snake through verdant forests. Wildflowers bloom in mountain meadows. Turquoise lakes glisten in the sunshine and quiet trails lead to woodland havens.

Many of California’s greatest treasures can be found in the High Sierras, including Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, Mammoth Lakes, and Sequoia/Kings Canyon National Parks. Adventure’s only limit is your will to embrace the outdoors – go hiking, skiing, biking, fishing, boating, and stargazing.

The mountain region fosters a fun-loving culture of artists and wanderers, with cities and towns filled with music festivals and craft beer hangouts. Find the place that frees your spirit in California’s majestic High Sierras.
