Most people visit Yosemite and spend their trip in the Valley. Some make it to Glacier Point Road, and drive their car to the end. I realized last year that I’ve traveled this road 5 different ways (including by car), which is pretty unique.

Yesterday on Earth Day, I posted a photo to Instagram of one of my favorite places, Moose Lake. That reminded me…I’ve had “finish writing Moose Lake backpacking trip review” on my to-do list for a loooong time. It’s been almost 3 years.

I finally drove in that direction in mid September. I had an opportunity to stay in a cabin near Donner one weekend. I will say that even after that weekend, I STILL haven’t seen Lake Tahoe! Continue reading

When I first moved to CA in 2015, I had a very short bucket list of must-do hikes. Half Dome and Mount Whitney were pretty much it. I knew very little about other wilderness areas and parks, so I set out to do the most famous Sierra hikes within my first year of living here.
