Sierra National Forest, California

Sierra National Forest is sometimes ignored since it is bordered by much larger and more prominent woods (such as Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks), but that doesn't make it any less unique. Tall mountain peaks loom above subalpine meadow regions and beautiful, glistening lakes. The forest is ideal for hikers, with multiple clean hiking paths–both the John Muir and Pacific Crest trails go straight through it.

This gorgeous forest is home to various wildlife and tree species and is one of America's most beautiful woods (some say in the entire world). The wildlife isn't the only thing that distinguishes Sierra National Forest... Its towering mountain peaks, glistening lakes, and pure hiking trails are unique. Words simply cannot adequately convey its magnificence, therefore you must travel there and see it for yourself. June, July, and August are the ideal months to visit!
