Half-day Snowshoe Hike in Tahoe National Forest
On this adventure, we will be hiking with snowshoes, immersing ourselves in the forest on a homemade secluded winter trail. Starting, we will spend 1 hour of hiking up 800’ in elevation at a relaxed and enjoyable pace. Up the mountain, we go through uninterrupted Tahoe National Forest. Guiding through the alpine scenery I’ll be sharing stories of the area, history, as well as local flora and fauna. Roughly halfway, we reach one of the highlights of the hike and the scenic reward of Pauly’s Point, an outcropping of rocks, and our highest point of the adventure. From here, world-renowned ski resorts of Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley are in full view as they nestle into the Sierra Nevada mountains. Breathtaking scenery surrounds us as we take a break for a snack. On our way down, we will take roughly an hour to meander our way back down the mountain through a variety of high alpine meadows, finishing a loop as we reach the end. Due to the seclusion, seeing another person is highly unlikely. So step off the beaten path and allow me to show you a true mountain outing you won’t surely forget. This hike is suitable for all ability level. However, due to the elevation gain, uneven surfaces, and ever-changing snow conditions. This hike is considered intermediate- moderate in difficulty so be ready to break a little sweat. All who attend will be rewarded greatly by the experience. Other things to note Eat, Hydrate, and use the restroom prior to the hike. No restroom is available at our meeting location. Make sure to have proper footwear for walking through snow for up to 3 hours. A water bottle or camelback is highly recommended for the hike.

A Walking Tour of Hollywood Jazz History
This tour traces the long and wild history of jazz in Los Angeles. From Jelly Roll Morton to La-La Land, the City of Angels has housed many of the world's most-recognized jazz artists, including Duke Ellington, Lionel Hampton, Eric Dolphy, Charlie Parker, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald and hundreds more. Under the veneer of redevelopment and new coats of paint, the nightspots and haunts of jazz's past can still be found if you know where to look. On this tour, we'll see the theater where Dexter Gordon workshopped his Blue Note debut and the tiny brick-lined coffeehouse where Ornette Coleman honed his craft before heading east. We'll see Capitol Records Tower, the house that Nat King Cole built, looming large over an array of notable jazz stars embedded in the city's sidewalk. While many significant sites no longer exist, the history remains, and vibrates when accompanied by an extensive slideshow and authentic playlist! Other things to note: Hollywood is not always as glamorous as the movies will have you believe. It can be a dangerous and occasionally hostile environment. Keep your wits about you at all times.

This isn't your traditional bar-crawl where we go to 3 or 4 generic sports bars - we'll visit some must-see bars and hidden gems, even locals don't know. We'll see alot: a speakeasy & 120 yr old behind a 1920s themed barbershop from the movie Greatest Showman, a hidden mezcal/ tequila & nacho bar hidden behind an exit sign, the most relaxing Skybar with Strip views where a lot of celebs and athletes stay, Mexican bar in a jungle and animal habitat w/ morning drink deals, 2-4-1 happy hour and real flamingos. I'll show you where to find $1, $2, $3 beers, $4 mixed drinks, BOGO drinks all day, rooftop bar w/ Strip views, all you can drink mimosas for $25, and my favorite frozen Baileys. We'll see & visit alot. Questions? Feel free to ask! I can take photos - can't carry you home Again, please message and request a specific time and day prior to booking.

For Those visitors who enjoy the pureness of nature in the wild but incredibly beautiful desert, there are miraculous canyons, platos, colorful dunes, arches, hoodoos, hundreds unbelievable sandstone figures just a days' walk away, and by night you can be sitting in your comfortable hotel room talking about the unforgettable experiences of the adventure.

Yosemite Cider Orchard Tour and Tasting
Take a break from the rigors of Yosemite hiking and take a relaxing stroll through our orchard. Learn about what makes our 19 varieties of apples so special (and why you probably don't want to eat them), a brief history of American cider, some slightly embellished tales about the local wildlife, and some jokes that will either make you laugh or groan, depending on the weather. Then kick back at our tasting room to enjoy some bar games, beautiful views and a meet and greet with some really nice dogs and some really goaty goats. Oh, and cider of course. You'll get to drink cider. One sip, and you'll understand why call it "Campfire Champagne."
