Highway 190, nestled in the scenic Southwestern Sierra foothills, begins just outside of Sequoia National Forest, where riders immediately encounter a dramatic change in landscape. The first miles introduce the dry, desert-like terrain, characteristic of the valley floor, gradually transitioning into a stunning alpine ecosystem as you ascend past the 5,000-foot mark. Along the way, you'll weave through dense forests, including mixed-conifer and lodgepole pine, offering beautiful yet challenging scenery as you climb toward the high-altitude pass.
