Hike 1: Diamond Lake (Umpqua National Forest, OR)

For my 49th birthday, I kicked off my 50th year of life with cross-country skiing at Diamond Lake with dear friends Aliyih, Heather, James and my husband John.

(I count both cross country skiing and snow-shoeing as hiking!)

Check out that gorgeous Mt. Thielsen skyline!

Keeping warm with…. Sauvignon Blanc? Why not?

Well, it WAS my 49th birthday. Here we go! 50 hikes!
