My first hike in San Francisco and my first ever hike with the Sierra Club

I am holding a piece of grass in my mouth and that is my hiking stick and I am standing next to a tree trunk. When we were on the way, my hiking stick broke. I think that someone cut this tree down.















This is me. I am standing next to what I call a spider tree trunk because it looks a little bit like a spider or a spider web. The hole in the middle looks like the spider. It is really big. It's like a giant spider tree trunk because it looks like a giant spider web. This tree was a redwood that fell over.









There is a hole inside of this tree that has two different entrances besides the one I am standing next too. It was next to a log that marked our path. It would make a pretty good hide-out if it didn't have all of the spider webs. I had never seen anything like it. It is astonishing.
















This bridge was made by a redwood falling down and someone chopping off half of it. I am sitting on the edge of it. It looks like my backpack is on but it really isn't. There is lots of water underneath it. I was looking at the beauty of the water.












I am sitting on these very thick roots in the forest of Muir Woods. These woods have some of the tallest redwoods in the entire state.

















This is me. I am reaching out to touch a banana slug which was very slimy. I asked the person at the desk a few questions. He told me that these slugs could get up to 10 inches long and they could live up to six years.










This slug is saying, "I am a banana slug and I am trying to escape from this horrible prison of leaves." And the other slug says, "Words are no use, Darling, gobble, gobble, gobble."
