When it comes to places to stay in Yosemite, there’s no shortage of options. Availability, however, is a different ball game. If your options in Yosemite Valley are booked up, look no further than the Redwoods in Yosemite to host your stay.
When it comes to glamping, Northern California has no shortage of fire lookouts and huts to spend the night in. These rustic destinations have the bare minimum, and then some, to make your night in the wilderness one to remember. Robbs Mountain Hut in Eldorado National Forest is one to add to your to-visit list.
It’s no secret that I only hike to eat and drink things. Most of my backpacking trips happen just for the backcountry happy hour. I previously wrote about how to make the most instagrammable snack board and how to have an amazing backcountry happy hour. Now, the Opinel Nomad Cooking Kit exists to make both of these things an absolute breeze.

Here’s your guide to everything about Jardines bouldering.
