Visit to Strawberry
What do you love about summer? Moments like this one? Yeah, me too.
These are shots from a weekend in late July; we went up to Mimi and Grandpa’s beautiful cabin in Strawberry. We try to go every summer. This year we spent some time at this beautiful little swimming hole formed where Strawberry Creek joins the South fork of the American River to head down to the Valley.
A crystal pool, hot baked boulders …
… and roaring rapids.
As usual we enjoyed delicious meals together and had a wonderful hike on the Lyons Trail at the edge of Desolation Wilderness. This is a great trail for all ages because although it’s at altitude it’s really very flat.
We played in the little creek there and had a picnic. As always, we are grateful to our hostess and host for the five-star rustic accommodations!
We fit as much free and easy time into that weekend as possible!
