Adventures with the gal pals into the backcountry. This was a particularly special trip. I rolled into the airport in Mammoth with extra time to stretch my legs and let the pup out for a walk before @_peridee and @millennialtravelr landed. We threw the packs into the car and headed to Whoa Nellie Deli for fish tacos and margaritas to start the weekend out proper. So many things went wrong- so much more went right. Each one of us misplaced something important during this trip and each had it returned. I can’t take credit for this pic as my camera was one such item misplaced. It was the chilliest trip I’ve been on... We didn’t have the best gear for these temps so we carried extra weight in blankets. I was inspired with the determination @_peridee showed. Carrying a borrowed pack that didn’t fit so well at high elevations, with temps reaching low 20s, waking to frosted tent walls and scattered snow patches outside... for her first backpacking trip! First camping trip ever actually! It was a tough first trip to join and she rocked it! It was beautiful, it was cold and it was wonderful. It was challenging but the views rewarded us and the famous fall colors of the east side still lingered for us to enjoy. @_peridee @millennialtravelr which one of you snapped this beauty anyway? #ruggedbeauty . . . #bealpha #forceofnature #alphafemale #takemebackpacking #trailchat #Farakanna #optoutside #outdoormagazine #clymblife #testedtough #wildernextgen #sharetodaysadventure #thediscoverer #mountaingirlsdoitbetter #womenwhoexplore #Radgirlslife #Adventuregirl #Wildernessbabes #alpinebabes #mountaingirls #ruggedbeauty #Outdoorwomen #womenwhoexplore #visitcalifornia #outdoorsusa #monocounty
Sister sister backpacking trip in #yosemite earlier this year. There’s something special about getting out there with just the girls. It’s empowering- recognizing your strengths. Backpacking has made me believe in myself. I am capable of so much more than I knew I was. With each step into the wilderness I become more free from invisible boundaries created by societal norms and others expectations of who and what I should be. Out there, I am free to be me 100%. Each time I return I feel I have grown exponentially. How does backpacking make a difference in your life? #forceofnature #bealpha #bealphafemale #ruggedbeauty . . . #sonya6000 #optoutside #tarptent #womeninwilderness #outdoorwomen #girlsthathike #yosemitenationalpark #outdoorsisters
Life’s more fun with a bit of dirt. I can’t go anywhere without climbing something. This time it was climbing into the burned out hallow of a beautiful cedar tree. @photogdonovanconway captured the moment. Thanks for the amazing day out in the forest exploring and shooting! #ruggedbeauty #alphafemale #forceofnature
