Let’s disconnect to reconnect! Let’s breathe in the crisp, fresh air, as we hike in the shadow of the highest mountain in the contiguous United States! Grab your mittens, hiking shoes and furry best friend (optional) and come hang out with some super cool people; in one of the most beautiful areas in all of the California!
Please note that this hike is a bit farther from the Central Valley than my free day hikes normally are, so you might want to grab your favorite roadtrip buddy and a hotel or Airbnb for after the hike for this adventure. If we aren’t spending quality time with the important people/animals in our lives and creating special memories with them to help get us through the rough times, what are we even doing? I also planned this one later in the day than usual because 1) I want us to be here during the warmest part of the day (January here can be cold) and 2) for golden hour. When I say that Golden hour here is SPECTACULAR, I mean it!
WHO? YOU & your canine and/or feline companions.
WHERE? We will meet at 1164 Tuttle Creek Rd - 1164 Tuttle Creek Rd, Lone Pine, CA 93545 at 3:00pm. This is the Lone Pine Pheasant Club. :)
WHAT? This is a 0.6 miles “loop” trail that is considered easy and will take about 1-1/2 hours, WITH all of our stops for photos, sightseeing, bouldering, etc. This does NOT include drive time to/from the meeting point in Lone Pine.
COST: Absolutely FREE!
WHAT TO BRING:
Drinking water
Comfortable hiking shoes.
LOTS of warm layers
Sunblock
Snacks
First aid kit (maybe I’m “extra, but I don’t leave home without one)
A positive attitude
Your fur baby! This is optional of course.
BONUS:
I will also generously be providing FREE professional photos of you from the days adventures as keepsakes. I mostly capture candid shots but also include some curated photos as well. Be sure to let me know ahead of time if you have something in particular in mind. Pro photo tip: Don’t wear neutral colors (tan, beige, brown, gray, etc.) or orange for photo purposes. You’ll blend in to the background.
NOTES:
You are responsible for you own health and safety. As well as the health and safety of your fur baby (cat or dog) should you decide to bring them. This is a free “event”, by participating, you are taking full responsibility for your own actions and safety - as well as the health and safety of your canine/feline companion(s).
I will only be bringing 6 people with me. These events usually fill up in less than 24 hours, so reserve your spot right away. 2 SPACES LEFT
To reserve your spot, email me at Hilda.intothewild@gmail.com and title it “free January hike”. Please also be sure to let me know if you are coming alone or bringing a cat/dog or friend. :) If you are choosing to book overnight accommodations, I suggest you do it asap because although accommodations are very inexpensive, I’ve learned the hard way that availability is limited in this part of the world.
Please put this event in your planner/calendar as soon as your spot is confirmed - so you don’t forget that you signed up for it and double booked yourself doing something else too (yes, people have done this in the past). If you reserve a spot and change your mind for any reason, I kindly request that you give me at least 1 week to try to give someone else the opportunity to join us in your absence. :)
If you are bringing your fur baby, please make sure they get along with humans and other animals. Don’t forget to bring water, treats and eco friendly poop bags for them as well!
