A Brief Introduction To Lake Aloha

If you live in California or you're heading there - specifically to the Sierra Nevada mountain range surrounding the Lake Tahoe basin, Lake Aloha is a popular destination for hikers in the Desolation Wilderness . The hike to Lake Aloha is can be a challenging one.  I'd definitely label it rigorous if you haven't done much hiking or backing.  It involves a significant elevation gain and can be quite rocky in some areas (to the point where rolling your ankles and sliding around quite a bit will be the rule not the exception as you make your way to your travel destination).

A Winter Carnival

Traveling doesn't always have to be a physical "trip".  Simply looking at a photo can trigger the imagination and bring us to that place without actually going. Yes, we'd all rather go and be there, but we do have responsibilities to take of first.  While we're taking care of those responsibilities, a cup of coffee and our imagination drives us to get things done, so we can mark the calendar for that next vacation.
