I understand the example, but...nobody calls the Rocky Mountains, the Rocky! They are known as the Rockies. And aren't the Pocono Mountains called the Poconos? Come on guys!The sierra is Spanish for the sky.Pet peeve - it’s the sierra but is often misspelled as sierras.NV has access to mountains. Lake Tahoe straddles the border, and the Sierra Nevadas are closer to say Reno than coastal CA cities. There also is the Great Basin Nat'l Park that includes the Wheeler Peak area, and Zion NP is about a 3 hour drive from LV. Lone Pine near the east side of Mt Whitney in the Sierras is about a 4 hr drive from LV, going through Death Valley.
The Sierras is common usage for the mountains (plural). It may be wrong, but what can we do with the two of us against everyone else?
