Hi all – I have some time off between Xmas and New Years and really want to take advantage of it. I'm based in southern california and am willing to drive 12 hours (or take a quick flight) to a great backcountry destination. Backpacking, fatbiking, packrafting, snowshoeing, and others are all options.
I'm looking for a beautiful area to go with a friend that will offer some off-the-beaten-path experiences and solitude. Wildlife would be an added bonus.
I know this is pretty open-ended but would love any recommendations from the forum!
