“Then it seemed to me the Sierra should be called not the Nevada, or Snowy Range, but the Range of Light.”— John Muir
Muir's sentence named our company — Range of Light Expeditions. EastAlp is what we answer to: local shorthand for the east side of America's alps. Founded in Bishop in 2026, we're a small outfit guiding the brightest side of the Sierra.
