Joaquin Miller Interpretive Hike
Explore natural and human history on a 2-3 mi hike in Joaquin Miller Park. We’ll visit the monuments that the “Poet of the SIerras” built here on his land, take trails through the redwoods, and on our (downhill) return we’ll pass the Woodminster Theater, CA Writers Grove, and follow steps down alongside the Cascades.
