Gambolin’ Man’s latest post explores one of my favorite hiking areas on the planet, Yosemite National Park. He discusses history and nature and philosophy, and he has lots of good pics to back it up.
Here’s a taste of what he writes about Yosemite:
We didn’t exactly make it to Yosemite National Park John Muir-style – that is, walking from Oakland over the course of many moons – “to any place that is wild” – up and over Mt. Diablo and the Pacheco Pass, across a flowery sea of the great Central Plain, and sauntering up the ever wilder foothills, to arrive in pristine glory at the doorstep of the cathedral-like valley that greeted the peripatetic soul-searcher with astonishing impressions of being “by far the grandest of all the special temples of Nature I was ever permitted to enter.”
