Backpacking Peeler Lake Loop | Hoover Wilderness
For our finale in the eastern Sierras for the season, we decided on backpacking Peeler Lake Loop. Peeler Lake is in the Hoover Wilderness of the eastern Sierras near Bridgeport, California. This Hoover Wilderness borders the Yosemite National Park and the elevation ranges from between 7,000-12,000 feet. We've never had the chance to explore the Hoover Wilderness so we were excited see a whole new beautiful area of the always stunning Sierra Nevadas.

Longboarding the Wetlands Loop Trail
Some people hit the jackpot on the strip in Las Vegas but we hit the jackpot by finding a lot of fun things to do off the strip in the Las Vegas area! In fact, this area has some great scenery nearby as well as exciting hikes and even hot springs. We also enjoyed the skate parks and the pump track in the area. But as far as longboarding goes, the Wetlands Loop Trail is amazing! Not just by things to do in the Las Vegas area standards but from all of our longboarding adventures this one was a lot of fun!
