A woman stands ankle-deep in the crystal clear waters of a picturesque lake, her body silhouetted against the breathtaking backdrop of a vast blue sky adorned with wispy white clouds. In the distance, the majestic mountains rise majestically, their snow-capped peaks glistening in the sunlight. The woman's arms are raised above her head, her posture exuding a sense of freedom and embrace of nature's beauty. A few sailboats can be seen gently bobbing on the tranquil waters, adding a serene touch to the already idyllic scene. The image perfectly captures the essence of a peaceful and rejuvenating escape into the great outdoors.

For those itching for a weekend away, exploring the great outdoors while distanced from others is a wonderful, low-risk way to go. Picture from Lake Tahoe last year. •• That being said, there are parks and trails that are absolutely packed now as people feel it’s their only safe option for outdoor activity, so try to find less popular spots to explore, where it’s easier to maintain a level of distancing. •• If you have any suggestions for the LA/Southern California area, drop them below! . . . . .
