IT’S OCTOBER, WITCHES! And just 30 more days until the @outdoormediasummit! 🌲🥾 It’s close to home for me this year, in North Lake Tahoe! It’ll sadly be my last Tahoe trip before moving to TN, so I’m planning on taking full advantage 🥲. 📍: Washoe land Photos from the Stateline Lookout Trail outside of Incline Village.

My face when I get to escape Sacramento’s 100°+ days : 😃😊. I wanted to test out my new @alderapparel hiking shorts & joggers, so running away to Tahoe(‘s cooler weather) was the perfect excuse. After a day of hiking around North Lake Tahoe and then exploring King’s Beach, here are my initial thoughts on my Alder Apparel bottoms : 🩳 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗔 𝗛𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝟯.𝟬 The first test in any hiking bottoms I try is to see if my phone fits in the pockets lol. It did in both of these. Next! They’re water resistant and quick drying with 7 pockets, a detachable belt, and were a great length (not tight around my thighs). Only con for me was how high waisted they are, so since I have bigger obliques 😆 they felt a bit tight on the top. Overall : I like these and would definitely wear them again on shorter day hikes! Cute & Functional! 👖𝗕𝗲 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗝𝗼𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 First thing I noticed was how soft they were. Sooo comfortable and breathable too. They have a stretchy pull-on waistband, sweat-wicking fabric, 6 pockets, and ankle zippers. No con’s so far though I probably wouldn’t wear these on hikes with thick brush or lots of rock scrambling since the material might tear during intense adventures. Overall : I am in love with these and want to live in them. If I could get 1 in every color I would. Perfect for your average hike, any urban exploring, or even just lounging at home. 🌲 “𝗕𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺” 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 they’re cute AND functional and I’ll be testing them more on trips to come. I’m so stoked to have joined #thealdercrew, to have been #gifted these items, and to be aligned with a women’s outdoor clothing brand that’s one of the most size inclusive; with environmental values and a drive to represent ALL types of women in the outdoor space. 🫶 📸 : Taken by @rebecca.wes.photo #recreating #takeahike #tahoenorth #northlaketahoe #hikingclothes #womeninthewild #outdoorwomen #granolagirl #hikingoutfit (at North Lake Tahoe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiAtgmpPswr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
