Have you ever been to Lake Tahoe? If not, you definitely should go. The Desolation Wilderness is one of the most beautiful places in the entire world. I climbed Mt. Tallac many years ago, and I've had the amazing opportunity to backpack in the Desolation Wilderness many times. On two of those occasions, I was caught in a blizzard... and on one occasion, we had to bail on our trip because my mom's tent zipper failed after being completely covered in ice.
Sometimes things don't go the way you planned ... but do you know what? Maybe they went the way that they were supposed to. We hiked out that day and it was one of the most beautiful days of hiking that we've ever shared. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to explore nature, and also so grateful that nature consistently reminds us to be in awe of its power and vastness.
When I first saw this Kula print, it made me smile because it really captured the awe and wonder that I felt looking at Mt. Tallac on that morning after the ice storm. I hope that it reminds you of a beautiful memory too. Thank you to Emily for creating such a beautiful piece and for sharing it with all of us!
Love,
Anastasia -- Kula Founder
