## 3 DAYS IN THE SIERRA — MOUNT ELWELL LOOP Three days. Two nights. 15 miles. 2,500+ feet of elevation gain. Rigo, Noah, and I headed into **Plumas National Forest** for a 3-day backpacking trip on the **Mount Elwell Loop**. The goal was simple: get away for a few days, explore some incredible California wilderness, and have a damn good time doing it. This backpacking trip had a little bit of everything — brutal uphill climbs, beautiful mountain terrain, alpine lakes, swimming, camp cooking, exploring, and some absolutely incredible stars at night. The climbs definitely tested us, but being able to cool off with a swim and spend the evenings surrounded by the mountains made every step worth it. This is a full **backpacking vlog** following our 3-day, 2-night adventure through the **Plumas National Forest** and the Sierra Nevada.
