First (but hopefully not last) summit of El Capitan!! (ad) We have done soooo many hikes in Yosemite and been to TONS of the surrounding summits in the valley BUT there is one summit we have yet to check off the list… El Capitan 😎 El Capitan is the most famous rock formation in the entire world…

On paper, Yosemite might not be the MOST dog-friendly national park out there, but I think a lot of people don’t realize that just because dogs aren’t allowed on most hiking trails doesn’t mean there aren’t still PLENTY of places to walk, explore, and see some pretty incredible things with your…

@Victoria's Secret I’m available next year though #rockclimb #rockclimbing #grandteton #grandtetonnationalpark #outdoorsy

Bringing back tea time on Fanette island 👇🏼 As much as I love seeing Emerald Bay from the top, I think the best way to ~experience~ it is from the water! Fannette island is the tiny, super scenic, island right in the middle of Emerald Bay! But to paddle out to the island there are a few things…

The past couple of months have been insane. What was originally planned to be a fall full of climbing and backpacking turned into a fall full of moving and renovating and house projects upon house projects. And while it has been extremely exciting and all for the greater good, we have also been…

Normalize living in absolute chaos but making the most of it anyway 😜 We are FINALLY done renovating our A frame just in time to spend a few magical days in our favorite place in the world ✨ We’re both pretty exhausted and also nursing a couple of injuries so this trip is just going to serve as a…

OKAY FUN FACT! 👇🏼 (ad) A couple of years ago Sentry and I were complaining about photochromic lenses and how they don’t change tint quickly enough when Sentry said he had an idea to solve it… He said with all of the technology out in the world, SURELY someone could create sunglasses that could…

Not sure why I don’t start my day like this every morning bc 🤯✨🌊💗 #paddleboard #paddleboarding #laketahoe #southlaketahoe #sunrise

Nothing will change unless we start holding people accountable ‼️ #firesafety #campfire #yosemite #yosemitenationalpark #camping

HOW ARE PEOPLE PULLING OFF THOSE SUNGLASSES??? Trader Joe’s surprised me!! I got a few pumpkin things and I’m excited to try!! HAPPY OCTOBER ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 #laketahoe #errands #errandvlog #groceryshopping #southlaketahoe

HOW TO WASH YOUR BACKPACK 🎒🫧 Steps & important info!! 👇🏼 1. Empty everything
Open ALL zippers and pockets and make sure they’re completely empty! Dump and shake out your pack to get rid of any loose dirt, dust, rocks, etc. 2. Remove components
Take off any removable pieces like hip belts, shoulder…

whenever I’m in a funk the answer is almost always to move my body!!! Sentry has been spending all day and into the nights finishing up our A frame renovations so we can put her up for sale, so we haven’t been able to spend that much time together recently. He got home one night and could tell I…

The last one is a NON NEGOTIABLE 😎🐕🔥 When the gals and I decided to go backpacking the first thing I did was check the weather!! I am someone who will NOT be able to relax and have fun if cold, so it is the one aspect of backpacking I will always over prepare for! Once the lows start to hit around…

An extra Costco trip this month because we actually have a real pantry and normal size freezer!!!!!! @costco has been SUCH an integral part of our money saving journey and how we ultimately were able to afford it so it just felt like a full circle moment ✨ total was $630 & this will DEF last us 2…

FIRST AND FOREMOST 👇🏼 squashing this before anyone has the chance to comment… NO we are not trust fund babies, NO we did not get financial help from loved ones, YES we are completely self made and worked our as*es off in order to make this happen :) ok thanks that’s all hehe (Btw there is…

DITL of a tourist in Lake Tahoe!! (ad) It is soooo easy to forget how lucky we are to live somewhere so special that thousands of people come to visit every year. Sometimes I find myself repeating the same hikes, going to the same spots, or somehow going over a WEEK without even seeing the lake?…

Trail stats & overview 👇🏼(ad) I feel like a lot of people don’t realize there is a Matterhorn peak right here in the US!!   It is a very cool and dramatic looking mountain in the Sierra Nevada (literally resembles the Matterhorn in Switzerland) and sits at about 12,300 ft!!!  Matterhorn peak has…

Fitz is always an honorary girl 💃🏼 best night with the best gals!! @Kayli King @Zoe & Kelby #backpacking #camping #tentcamping #campinglife #laketahoe

Never in my life did I think we would come across a jacket that is as thin as a normal hoodie but with a warmth rating down to 10°F?!? but @OROS has proved us wrong!! #orospartner When we first heard about OROS jackets, I had never heard of aerogel before, but Sentry immediately knew what it was…

If you’re not horse spraying you’re doing it wrong lmaoooo @Kayli King @Zoe & Kelby #backpacking #backcountry #campinghacks #campingtips #campinglife

I’ve never seen so many shooting stars in my life 💫 (ad) The second we heard about this rare celestial event, we were SO excited to see it, but the closer we got the more it was looking like we were going to get completely skunked by the weather. The entire state of California was basically under…

Crowds?? I don’t know her 🫡 (ad) Did you know that Lake Tahoe is not the only lake, in Lake Tahoe?! There are literally HUNDREDS of tiny alpine lakes in the area, and if you’re willing to put in a little extra effort, you can almost always find a spot completely to yourself!!!! I know people hate…

the woes of living in a mountain town 😂 If you were to walk in our local grocery store and see the cost of some of these groceries I swear you’d want to vomit as much as I do lol We are a family of 2 and the only way we can afford groceries is to drive an hour down the mountain to shop at Costco…

HEAVY on that last sentence !!! (Ad) I did not grow up in a super outdoorsy family. I grew up being HIGHLY competitive in ball sports and it was DRILLED into my brain to train and strive to be the best, fastest, most athletic person on the field. So when I moved out west and started to fall in…
