Yosemite turned out to be\u00a0way<\/strong> too difficult to get to without a lot more planning than I’d done, and a conversation with someone in the hostel kind of put me off the one-day bus tour option\u00a0(roughly a third of the tour happens outside of the bus, at best)<\/em>, so I went with Muir Woods instead.
\nStill a bus trip, but a much shorter one, as it’s just across the bay.<\/p>\n

It was all scenic, which is what I was there for.
\nThere were a number of tracks you could follow, with estimated times for each, and we’d been told that we could just make the third bridge up the river and back in the time available.<\/p>\n

Yeah, I think I walk fast, ’cause I could have done it twice.<\/p>\n

I mean, I didn’t do it twice.
\nI wandered up to the first bridge, checked out various groves of Coastal Redwood along the way, checked my watch, figured I’d go for the second bridge\u00a0(on the assumption that their map was more schematic than I’d thought)<\/em>, checked the time there, and realised that their times were calibrated for the zimmer-frame crowd.<\/p>\n

So I looked at trees, basked in the cheap showyness of nature, …<\/p>\n

…, enjoyed the shade and the cooler air, …<\/p>\n

…, and took a walk in the woods.<\/p>\n

I made it to the meeting point for the bus in plenty of time, which was a good thing.<\/p>\n
