Olympic Valley: Hwy 89 at
Olympic Valley lies between ridges of California’s Sierra Nevada, a setting that shaped it into a major mountain-sports centre. West of Lake Tahoe, the compact valley is reached from State Route 89 by Olympic Valley Road and is closely associated with Palisades Tahoe, the resort formerly known as Squaw Valley. The 1960 Winter Olympics were held here, giving the valley an enduring place in American sporting history. Forested slopes, residential clusters and resort infrastructure share the narrow corridor, while the wider Sierra Nevada links the area to Tahoe City, Truckee and Lake Tahoe’s north shore. Beyond winter sport, the valley is also a base for hiking and mountain biking.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
