Spooner Lake Snow Shoeing

We went snow shoeing at Spooner Lake, up in the Lake Tahoe basin with the Tahoe Rim Trail Association. Spooner Lake is about a 50 minute drive from us. The Sierra Moutains got over 700 inches of snow this year. There was still 6 feet or so as at Spooner Lake.


It's important when you go snow shoeing to dress properly so you don't get to sweaty.  If you get sweaty you risk the chance of getting hypothermia. 
So we had to pick the proper layers of clothing so that we wouldn't get cold or to hot. We had to wear a base layer a Second layer and a 3rd layer. Then when we got to Spooner Lake we had to put our Snow pants and jacket on. We had to be at spooter At 8:45 AM. We had to try on snow shoes to see what would fit us. Once we we all set and everyone was introduced,  we headed out.
We learned about trees from a representative from the Sugarpine Foundation. The person who taught us about trees was Named carley. We learned how to tell the difference between  Jefferson pines, fur trees, and long pole pines.We snow shoed about two miles. I think snowshoeing is harder than hiking. I had lots of fun. It was a little hard because I kept tripping over my snow shoes. I really want to go snow showing again. ❄️🌨 Hopefully Mom and Dad will buy us some so we can go more. 

This was a little extra fun because it was just Mom, Macie, me, and one of moms friends.

🔥🦔The Seven Wonders and Fire Wave Loop🔥

Image
Hey, JJ here we are at Valley of Fire State Park. We have been here for almost a week. I am going to tell you about a really cool trail that we did . It was the 7 wounders and fire wave loop trail. It's 2.3 miles long It  was really cool.  Just a little ways down the trail there was a really cool wave of color on the rock. The colors were white, red, purple, and a lot more. Then we arrived at some small slot canyons . We did poses where our hands are on one side and our feet are on the other side. I was on top SP was under me MJ was under him and ET was on the ground. Farther down the trail there is the fire wave. It is all red with white  stripes. I didnt like it as much as the first wave because it didnt have as many colors.(see picture)   I thought the trail was really fun, I would definitely do it again.  JJ

🦔Dantes Peak & Zabriskies Point

Dantes peak sunset Have you ever watched the sunset before? Have you ever watched the full moon rise before? What about at the same time? We were lucky enough to do this.  The sun set Dantes Peak On our Last trip to Death Valley we did a hike called Dantes peak to see the  sunset and the full moon rise.  Sun set - Bad Water's below First off we had to drive up as high as we could. The road was pretty steep at a 15% grade. Once we made it to the top and parked, we walked all around to see the different views. We saw some really cool views of Bad Water's salt flats. Than we hiked up the mountain to the highest peak to find a spot to watch the sunset. The salt flats look so big from where we were. We found the perfect spot overlooking the flats . I found the perfect rock to sit on to watch the sunset in the West and the full moon rise in the East.The sunset was so pretty. It was really neat to watch the last rays of the sun set. We thought it would be dark after the sun went...
