Mountain Home to Muir Woods Hike (9/6) Preview

Here's Wendy's description of our first hike of Fall:  "Today we’ll hike down to Muir Woods and learn how it became a National Monument. Lunch at Camp Eastwood where you’ll hear the fascinating life story of intrepid botanist Alice Eastwood."  (Click here for a recap of our September 2008 hike).
