A bit of snowy sierra nevadas for the year. These mountains in the winter really are something incredible. Seeing the masses of granite surrounded by thousands of trees all in white always mesmerizes me. These photos were from a late winter storm last March taken right along Highway 50 that I was lucky enough to drive through the day after.

Located 25 miles back on Ice House Road in the Sierra Nevadas is Loon Lake. Its a larger high alpine lake than most that I’ve been hiking too but it is one of the prettiest. A few weeks ago we did a 12 mile hike around the lake which was the longest hike we had done so far this summer. The lake has the most gorgeous blue water and pine trees and granite all around. Since it is just a few miles outside of Desolation Wilderness, the landscapes look very similar. It was so peaceful and quite out among the trees. We found so many perfect tea drinking spots to take in the beauty of the lake and rest in the shade throughout the hike.

A year ago today I was waking up to this in California on the summit of Mount Watson. We had quite the exploration around Lake Tahoe hiking on the PCT, taking the van up multiple dirt bike trails, and I even took a dip (literally jumped in and out) in the freezing water!
