In the mountains just west of Lake Tahoe is Desolation Wilderness. A federally protected wilderness preserve with pristine views of granite peaks, over 100 alpine lakes and thousands of tall, evergreen pine trees.

While the name, "desolation", stems from a meaning of misery and loneliness, our trip here was everything but miserable.

Hiking through the wilderness, for days on end, with nothing more than what we could carry, our love for each other grew thicker than the trees and deeper than the lakes themselves. We tested our limits, and pushed each other forward through the vibrant landscape in awe of not only the surrounding beauty, but of each other as well.
