- I hiked an incredible 15 mile loop around Mt Tam last Sunday. The route was invented by Allen Ginsberg, Philip Whalen, and Gary Snyder in 1965 — photographs and writings about this adventure can be found in the book Opening the Mountain: Circumambulating Mount Tamalpais, A Ritual Walk
— highly recommended for hardy hikers, zen acolytes, and Beat Generation aficionados
