The Sweetwater Range is a small but formidable collection of peaks in Mono County, California that rises to over 13,000 feet. When the conditions are just right, moist air rising to pass over them condenses and forms a "Sierra Wave" cloud over their crest. The air warms as it descends on the far side, so the cloud only forms as a "hat" on top of the mountains.
