I first heard of John Muir when we went to Alaska. I was fascinated by his travels and solitary adventures in what was mostly uncharted territory. As part of our California trip, I very much wanted to visit Muir Woods, a cathedral of redwoods in Marin County.
To fully appreciate the splendor and magnitude here, you absolutely must get off the main path and climb up into the trees. At the very tops of the trees, after a several-hour hike, we saw a birds flitting about, breathtaking vistas into the distance, and far down below… a solitary deer giving herself a bath.
I am so glad we experienced this place.
You can see little me trying to capture the splendor in my camera lens at the bottom of this photo…
