Stanislaus National Forest
California
Due north of Yosemite, the Stanislaus National Forest encompasses a triptych of High Sierra volcanic wilderness — the Mokelumne, Carson-Iceberg, and Emigrant Wilderness, reveal a Martian landscape of volcanic vents, cirques, plugs, and cinder cones that remind visitors of the ancient inferno that once raged beneath the surface. Juxtaposed against this barren moonscape of rugged canyons and granite escarpments, wildflowers explode into a kaleidoscope of color as groves of sugar, Jeffrey, and lodgepole pine cling to hostile slopes, v-shape valleys, and meandering meadows.
