💫A year and a half ago this entire area was on fire. 
Soberanes Fires, the most expensive fire in US history destroying thousands of acres, homes, and wildlife. Massive trees were turned into ash and the whole area was decimated and unrecognizable.—————————————-
The thing about wildfires though is after the fire is over, and the land starts to “pick itself up” and grow again. The trees, grasses, flowers come back more beautiful than ever before. Lush mountains full of wildflowers: Wild Orchids, Lupine, Thistle, Morning Glory, etc. Bright green grasses cover every direction.🌳🌲🌿
————————————————
You would have never known this was a disaster zone. Sometimes it’s the tragedy that ends up bringing the beauty. The good stuff is on the other side, and sometimes you need to see the dark to really appreciate the light.🌟 ————————————————
This was also a very special hike because it was my 1 month old nephew’s first hike ever! He slept the entire time, all three hours.😂 Happy I got to spend so much time with my family out in California! alanlovewell jenn_lovewell 💗#teamlovewell
