Sorely missing any kind of actual social interaction, we decided to form a backpacking bubble with our friends, Joe and Amber, and Chris’s brother, Nick. We backpacked for five days into the Desolation Wilderness. So many gorgeous lakes and incredible views – plus, fun camaraderie that can’t be beat!
We had beautiful weather for the entire backpacking trip!
