OFF THE GRID » Yosemite High Sierra Camps by Vivian Chen

Hello from Yosemite National Park! After trying year after year, a few weeks ago with a bit of luck and good timing, my husband was able to secure us two last minute spots for a grand California wilderness adventure. As you are reading this, we are kicking off a week long backpacking trip where we'll be off the grid while staying at all five of Yosemite's High Sierra Camps. This 49 mile loop will take us along some of the most picturesque backcountry spots that Yosemite has to offer. I can't wait to share my travels with all of you when I return!

SHE EXPLORES HAPPY HOUR HIKE in Oakland » Redwood Regional Park by Vivian Chen

Last Friday, I had the pleasure to host my first She Explores Oakland happy hour hike at Redwood Regional Park. It was an evening of ladybugs, furry hiking buddies, good conversation, podcast recommendations and some sweat! Thanks for coming along and letting me show you around one of my favorite places to explore. Be sure to subscribe to the She Explores newsletter for more opportunities to get outside with like-minded women!
