Heather and I decided it was time to get into the California backcountry and started by choosing the Desolation Wilderness right outside of Tahoe. We love going there because most people are too dependent on technology and fire so not many folks venture out there. In the Desolation Wilderness, most tech does not work, and fires are illegal. Perfect for us!
