What is #MuirTacoHut? Is it a joke? Is it a hoax? Is it a rumor? All I will say for now is that @100peaks, PD and I will be out on the trail to Muir Pass this weekend.
What will happen on the trail? Share your guess in the comments below, then check back next week for a full report. And follow the #MuirTacoHut hashtag for clues (and maybe even updates).
Three years ago, SoCal Hiker was officially launched. I’ve hiked many miles since then, and I wanted to take a moment to look back at some of the highlights, and say thanks to some of the people who have shared the journey. The idea for SoCal Hiker came as I was planning to backpack the…
Yesterday I shared the Most-Read Posts of 2014. Today, I’m sharing the top posts. Which might make you scratch your head and wonder… “What’s the difference?” The most-read posts included posts from previous years. In fact, all of them were from previous years. Which tells me that the trail guides are still valuable to readers…
Welcome to SoCalHiker.net. I am a hiker and backpacker living in Southern California, and I’m here to share my favorite hikes and backpack trips. My focus will be primarily on local hikes, with some longer trips that may require a day of travel. I don’t profess to be an expert outdoorsman, but I do have…
Hiking the 211 mile John Muir Trail is an epic adventure. It’s also one of the great hiking trails that can be experienced without quitting your job and devoting five months of your life. The JMT is an adventure that lies within reach. I’ve thru-hiked the JMT twice. The first time was in 1980. I…
What a road trip! We began in San Diego as guests of Honda. Celebrated a birthday in the Bay Area, exploring Marin County. And we were just getting warmed up! The third leg of our spring break road trip took us up to beautiful Bend, Oregon. We said goodbye to San Francisco and cruised through Northern California. Neither…

Jeff are there any hiking apps that you would recommend? I’m trying to find one that can help locate local hiking trails.
Are you serving tacos from the Muir Hut? That would put some smiles on peoples faces for sure!
If only you could have been there with Tacos on Aug 3rd when it was pouring rain. Oh well.
What will happen on the trail? Well, I heard all about it from a local Bay Area adventurer was was invited but couldn’t make it. VERY cool!
Hi, I ended up on this site looking for a Chatsworth hike club meetup. My friend Cooky is an old mountain ranger, and said there would be a hike somewhere in Chatsworth but didn’t call back with the details, All I know is it’s today at 6pm, just wondering where so we could go there and hike along with the rest of the group. Anyone out there in cyberspace now who knows where this hike starts? What’s the address or cross streets??
Thanks in advance for any help with this, I’d really appreciate any help on this hike, Sept. 13, ’14.
Encountered “Senior Muir’s Taco Hut” last Friday, August 12th 2016 on the JMT at Purple Lake. While we didn’t have time to stop for a taco, the good folk insisted that I take a beer (which I did). We wanted to get up to Lake Virginia (hoping to go beyond too).
Thanks for your hospitality!
How do you support the effort?
