Yosemite Nature Notes 16: Sky Islands
Throughout the Sierra Nevada, high flat plateaus are found at elevations around twelve and thirteen thousand feet. These isolated sky islands are the home to unique plant communities that are found nowhere else.

I've spent most of my adult life camping & backpacking in Yosemite, including the high country and I have never heard of the Sky Islands. From the looks, I've definitely been there, but since my only free time is August, I believe I have missed the show of wild flowers shown here. Thank you for this video.
That's a great video. I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.
Very nicely photographed. I'm curious about the pollinators. Where do they overwinter? You'd think it would be rather far from the sky islands. That's quite a journey in altitude alone.
