Sacred Site Hike: Job’s Peak Aug 20 & Spooner Summit Aug 27
Did you know… Lake Tahoe is a sacred site, similar to Mount Shasta?
We always knew this place was special.
Now we can learn why it’s important – or better yet – why we’re compelled to connect with our natural landscape during two sacred site hikes in August lead by Peter Tongue.
They’re here. PCT Thru-Hikers. What a Trip.
You’ve probably seen them lately.
Huge backpacks. Shoes dangling.
In need of a shower; a place to stay for the night.
And a glimmer in their eye that no one can possibly understand unless you’ve done it.
