Taking advantage of the clear weather day on New Year’s Eve, my partner Luke and I made a last-minute plan to get up high and see a view. We chose Hidden Lake Peak and had ourselves a pretty spectacular day. During this trip, I tried Clif energy bloks for the first time thanks to a thoughtful holiday gift from a friend and now I start to crave those delicious lil gummies every time I start to break a sweat.
