Sierra Nevada

The Sierra Nevadas are a mountain range in New California, with the eastern section being occupied by the New California Republic.
==Background==
The Sierra Nevadas cut through California, and still grow massive sequoias even after the Great War.Aaron Kimball: "You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevadas, defiant and enduring."(Aaron Kimball's dialogue) In the early months of their trek across the country to reestablish contact with the Appalachian chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel, the Brotherhood First Expeditionary Force encountered a group of raiders who had captured Brotherhood members within the mountain range. Matthew Thornberry rescued them from torture, and left the expeditionary force to escort the rescued members back to Lost Hills.Fort Atlas terminal entries; Scribe Valdez's terminal, Brotherhood: Chapter Scrolls, KNIGHT Thornberry, Matthew
After warring against the Brotherhood of Steel, many of the surviving Vipers fled into these mountains and beyond,Fallout Bible 6, page 83: "Near Extermination by the Brotherhood of Steel in 2155: One Brotherhood squad found the Vipers, and during the firefight, John Maxson's father (who was leading the squad) was killed with a poisoned arrow. The response from the Brotherhood was immediate. The Paladins, now led by Rhombus, began a full scale campaign against the Vipers, tracking them down and wiping out almost all of their members within the span of a month. A handful of Vipers were able to flee north and east into the mountain range, but they were never heard from again." into the Mojave Wasteland where they would remain a threat for decades to come.The Vipers exist as an enemy faction in Fallout: New Vegas.
Decades later, raiders still remained an issue in the region, and so in order to bring peace the NCR would use Owen's Lake as a staging ground to drive out all the raider tribes on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas.Aaron Kimball: "And at Owen's Lake, we made true on our promise, driving out the raider tribes to establish a lasting peace in the eastern Sierra Nevadas."(Aaron Kimball's dialogue) 
==Notes==
The Ranger Sequoia is named after the sequoias in the Sierra Nevada.
