Parks & Nature
Dimond Canyon Trail
Dimond Canyon TrailGreat place to go for a walk.
The park is named for a colorful figure of the 19th century. Joaquin Miller was born in Indiana in 1841 and during his life he was a pony-express rider, lawyer, judge, teacher, gold prospector, nomad and author.
He became well known as the "Poet of the Sierras."
He settled on 70 acres of grassy hillside, which he had purchased parcel-by-parcel in the hills about the "City of the Oaks." In an effort to create an inspirational artists' retreat, he erected monuments, built structures for his mother and daughter, and coordinated the planting of 75,000 trees -- monterey cypress, olive and eucalyptus. He died in his home in 1913.
