“Methinks that the moment my legs begin to move, my thoughts begin to flow!” -Thoreau.
Science is proving what people have known for ages – going out into nature is one of the best ways to connect with your creative mind. Mt. Tam has been a special place of inspiration for many generations of artists and writers from early settlers from the Hudson Valley to the Bohemian and Beat movements. During this hike, you will learn more about this rich history, what happens on the Mountain today and hopefully make your own creative connection to Mt. Tam. There will be a 30 minute stop at West Point Inn to jot down your thoughts, practice watercolors, or simply take in the view.
