I miss California so much. I especially miss the redwoods, sitting at the edge of a 200 ft. cliff staring at the Pacific smashing against the rocks below, the amazing vistas into the San Joaquin valley and the arid vastness of Nevada from seven thousand feet, the pristine lakes atop the Sierras… I once gazed west beyond Sacramento across the valley one hundred miles to San Francisco from the top of the Sierras on a rare clear day.

I was just thinking about the Muir Trail. I had a chance to hike it once years ago and I passed. What a shame. It’s probably the only thing left on my bucket list.

Has anyone here ever done it? Would you describe it?
