Why do you love backpacking? I asked Evan on our 3rd day on the trail. And unlike in ‘normal life’, we had hours to consider, and talk about it. Here were our top 3 reasons: **Evan** 〰️ Feel small 🌎 〰️ Let my mind wander 🤔 〰️ Be connected to nature🌲 **Angela:** 〰️ Quality time 👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏻 〰️ Detaching and feeling stress-free 🧘🏻‍♀️ 〰️ The challenge 💪 The funny thing is, the thought of being disconnected used to really worry me—and now, it may be what I crave most. Anyone else? What’s one reason you love to get outdoors? 〰️We are re-living our 4-day backpacking trek into the Sierra Nevada, California. Our Day 2 recap reel is coming soon… Pic 1 & 2: our favorite (mosquito-filled 😬) night at the gorgeous Rae Lakes. Happy Friday 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♂️ squirrelmusttravel #outdooradventures #sierranevada #raelakesloop #outdoortones #outdoorfun #couplestravel #hikinglove
