Sierra Nevada

The Sierra Nevada is a mountain range and one of the most prominent features in New California.

Background
The bottom tip of the Sierra Nevada region is present in Fallout, ending at Junktown, overlooking Shady Sands, and containing Vault 13. In Fallout 2, the Sierras span the entire eastern section of the map and contain Modoc and New Reno. Aaron Kimball mentions the mountains in his speech at the Hoover Dam, referencing the Sequoia trees.

In the months before the Brotherhood First Expeditionary Force arrived at Appalachia, Matthew Thornberry rescued several captured Brotherhood members from hostile raiders, salvaging fusion cores, energy weapons, and other valuable technology.

After being decimated by the Brotherhood of Steel, many of the surviving Vipers fled into these mountains and beyond, into the Mojave Wasteland.
