Parched Valley

Owens Valley Along the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains.

A distinct contrast to the Western side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Owens Valley is far more sparsely populated as compared to the San Joaquin Valley. Left uncultivated, one might wonder how common these separate valleys would appear along the vertical stretch of California’s Central region. The Western side is more irrigated, while receptive to the Pacific Ocean’s circulatory conditions and from seasonal rainstorms. To thereafter include late Fall season fog and Spring/Summer melt.
