Yes, They Stretch From A small part of California to Mid-Nevada
It's the Sierra Nevada which roughly translates to Snow Range.
The pioneers crossing the Sierra Nevada were generally trying to go to California. For example, the Donner Party emigrated from the United States to California in 1846 by crossing the Rocky Mountains, Great Basin, and finally the Sierra Nevada in order to settle in Mexican California.
The Sierra Nevada mountains are mostly in California with a little bit in Nevada. In California they go from about the center West to East, and run down much of the the eastern half of the state. They go a short distance into Nevada where the dogleg in the border between the states bends.
It was difficult because of the harsh weather conditions and because of geography. Since it was really bad snow then the workers had to work harder. Geography because of the mountains they had to make holes in the mountains to let the train go through but they had to make sure it would not caluple.
California has many mountain ranges, but the major mountain range is the Sierra Nevada range. Other mountain ranges include the California coastal range, San Bernardino mountains in Los Angeles, and the Cascade mountains of Northern California.
The Western Cordillera in North America encompasses the ranges of the Coast Mountains, Cascade Range, Sierra Nevada, and the Rocky Mountains. These ranges span from British Columbia in Canada, down through the western United States, and into northern Mexico.
All I can say is if you go or have been there you will know why. Much of the Sierra Nevada mountains are preserved as parks or monuments. Travel US 395 and you will wonder no longer. Just walk into the wilderness for a few minutes to appreciate it more.

The coastal mountains of California were formed by the movement of tectonic plates. The Pacific Plate is sliding northwestward past the North American Plate, causing crustal deformation and uplift along the coast. This movement led to the creation of the mountain ranges we see today, such as the Coast Ranges and the Sierra Nevada.
