My name is Sierra, the photographer and writer behind Somewhere Sierra. I am a self-taught photographer based on the West Coast, and love exploring between the PNW and the SoCal beaches. You can likely find me with a camera in front of my face, or planning my next backcountry trip.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! I started writing about my travels to inspire people to get outdoors, and I hope it can help you plan your next adventure!
