"Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean." John Muir

Muir woods has long been on my "must visit" list. This fall I got to meander through the big trees, and swoon with the intoxicating air that can only be found here. We started high above Muir woods park, and walked down into the valley. The fog came just as we entered the park, which lent a mystical feel to a walk through the ancient trees. We ended the afternoon on the beach. My spirit felt very clean indeed.
