First snowshoe this winter was to Minaret Vista in Mammoth. It's a fairly level snowshoe but still challenging at 9000 ft. It was blustery but Miles stayed nice and toasty in his koala onesie. It was a good test run for the adventures we have planned for this winter. : : : : : : #minaretvista #mammoth #mammothmountain #mammothlakes #snowshoe #snowshoeing

We left LA with one goal - camp in the Alabama Hills and wake up with the sun kissing the Eastern Sierra range (I guess that's two goals?) At 7am we ripped the vinyl covers off the camper windows, excited to catch the sunrise. In doing so we woke Miles, who looked around, still delirious with sleepy eyes, wondering what all the commotion was about. We both laughed, knowing how grumpy Miles can be when woken from his sleep unnaturally. In the end, it was worth seeing the sun light up a mountain so special to us. And sharing that with our little man made it more special. : : : : : #alabamahills #alabamahillscalifornia #easternsierra #sunrise

“Hey look, we’re hiking above the clouds” says Laurie to the LA native. To which I respond, “No sweetie, that’s haze.” A lot of people don’t like LA for a lot of reasons, many of them valid. But I’m still one that really appreciates the Nature that is so accessible from many parts of the city. This photo was taken from the Mt. Wilson Trail, built in the 1800s, that begins in the town of Sierra Madre and ascends ~almost 5,500 vertical feet (in under 7 miles) to the top of Mt. Wilson. The trail kicked our butts as we hadn’t done a hike like this in a long, long time. It’s been three days and we’re still very sore from it. . . . . . . #mtwilson #mtwilsonobservatory #mtwilsontrail #mountwilson #socal #socalhiking #hikinginla #mountwilsontrail

We’ve enjoyed two solid days of play this weekend. Doesn’t happen very often but it sure felt good to get outside! Video - Sugarloaf Open Space, Walnut Creek, CA Photo - Marin Headlands

Just a guy skipping rocks like a boss (:

An overnight in the #DesolationWilderness earlier this week was 👌 We took Miles to Twin Lakes, a place special to Laurie as this is where she first went backpacking throughout her childhood. Sharing these places of significance with Miles is very rewarding. And seeing him enjoy himself in the mountains is too.
