John Muir, the famous naturalist and hiker, didn’t worry about the difference between walking and hiking when he said,“I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out until sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.”

Weather: overcast, 60 degrees

Duration: 5.44 miles, 1 hr. 43 min with a bit of time to stop and just observe our surroundings
