Women of Muir Woods
On a hike with Latino Outdoors in July, 20 community members walked from Camp Alice Eastwood to Muir Woods. At one point, a young girl and her family took turns listening to this redwood tree. “Close your eyes and feel what it is like to be the heart of a tree," a ranger said. It was a magical moment with the family. They really were in awe of the strength and stature of the tree, feeling the scars left from a fire in the distant past. And they imagined all that the tree has experienced.
