Remember feeling like a million bucks stepping outdoors, post lockdown?! It’s like we won the lottery, and the prize was fresh air & freedom🤩🌲
•
In Summer 2020 we took our longest backpacking trip—5 nights/6 days. We slowed down and made camp early each day.. allowing for longer happy hours at a different lake every night 🤩. My brother carried a fishing pole, cards, and frisbee! 😆 
•
🎒I borrowed a backpack 2x too big and carried more food than we needed.. allowing us to play outdoors an extra night. 
•
🤠 My Dad, Papa Squirrel, hired a Cowgirl & mule to carry his backpack to the top of the mountain so he could join! 
TIP: If you want this service, Google: ‘pack trains’ wherever you’re headed!
•
🌲 2020 was the BEST reminder of how much we NEED the outdoors! And practicing #LeaveNoTrace—caring for our Earth, became an essential way of life 🙏♻️.

🗺 Route Details: The Sierra Nevada Mountains are California’s wonderland! When it was too challenging to score permits into the John Muir Wilderness, we decided to hike out of ‘ ‘. You still need a permit, but they are much easier to come by, and from it we accessed these bucket list destinations: 
-
📍 Lake Ediza (slept underneath the Minarets) 🤩 
•
📍 Thousand Island Lakes - also accessible in a single overnight trip (permits required). 
•
Is exploring California’a Sierra Nevada mountains on your bucket list, or have you been before?

Hoping we’ll never this excitement when we get outdoors 
•
📍 Mammoth Mountain, including: Lake Edeza, Thousand Island Lake & 🤩
