What’s special about the Sierra Nevada? And what are people doing to keep it that way? Here’s your chance to tell your story and share your knowledge and experiences with residents and visitors of the Sierra Nevada region: the Sierra Nevada Geotourism MapGuide.

The National Geographic Society has partnered with the Sierra Nevada Conservancy and Sierra Business Council to capture the history and heritage of the Sierra Nevada Region in order to create an interactive Web site and print map. History buffs and adventurers, backpackers and foodies, birders and sightseers can discover unique destinations based on recommendations from those who know best—residents of and those who love the Sierra Nevada.

Nominate your favorite Sierra places for the MapGuide—the nomination period ends soon! Simply create an account for yourself and then an entry for your nomination. Categories for nominations include accomodations, action opportunities, community, festival or event, food or drink, health and wellness, historic/pre-historic place, local points of interest, museum/theater/interpretive center, natural area, or outdoor opportunities.

Don’t worry, we’ve created nominations already for Mono Lake, but this beautiful basin is just a tiny part of the whole range. Make sure to nominate your favorite places soon!
