George Miller Regional Bike Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Carquinez Scenic Drive is closed to cars since landslides caused damage in the 1980s. The former road is a paved park trail in the Carquinez Regional Shoreline Reserve to the east, and a rebuilt excellent paved bike path to the west of the oil dock.

John Muir National Historic Site Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

Home for more than 28 years to the great early conservationist, writer, and founder of the Sierra Club, the 14-room Italianate Victorian mansion on top of a little hill is now a museum, and including a nearby 50 years older Adobe building, surrounded by some small demonstration gardens of wine and fruit trees that remain of the once large orchard operations started by his father-in-law in the 1860s. The mansion was built in 1883 by Dr. John Strentzel, Muir's father-in-law, with whom Muir went into partnership, managing his 2,600-acre (1,100 ha) fruit ranch. Muir and his wife, Louisa, moved into the house in 1890, and he lived there until his death in 1914.
While living here, Muir realized many of his greatest accomplishments, co-founding and serving as the first president of the Sierra Club, in the wake of his battle to prevent Yosemite National Park's Hetch Hetchy Valley from being dammed, playing a prominent role in the creation of several national parks, writing hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles and several books expounding on the virtues of conservation and the natural world, and laying the foundations for the creation of the National Park Service in 1916. The home contains Muir's "scribble den," as he called his study, and his original desk, where he wrote about many of the ideas that are the bedrock of the modern conservation movement. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Muir_National_Historic_Site
