Author: Sierra Dalton

Sierra Dalton is a journalist who has covered the West Coast from both sides of the Sierras. Born in Nevada and educated in California, she spent several years reporting on environmental and outdoor recreation topics before broadening her beat to include lifestyle, travel, and regional culture. At West Coast Observer, Sierra captures what it actually feels like to live on the West Coast — the landscapes, the communities, the contradictions. She hikes obsessively, names her houseplants, and considers the Pacific Coast Highway the finest road in existence regardless of traffic conditions.
