I've been yearning for a good adventure, so I was very happy to take a drive up to Donner Pass yesterday. Full disclosure: I try very hard to micromanage my kids' wardrobes when I know I want to take pictures, but they don't let me. Also, I try to get my kids to pose for me, but they usually refuse. I've had to learn to be okay with that, and embrace living in the moment. But anyway, we parked at the China Wall (there is a single porta potty there, good to know if you're bringing little ones) and we meandered through rocks and tunnels on one of the best hikes we've had in some time.  This hike is rich in history, and an absolute feast for the eyes. The kids loved the rock climbing and the sense of danger, both inside and outside of the tunnels. I loved the views and light; so much so that I wanted to share a few photos form our adventure.
