    Located a mere 12 miles north of San Francisco, this tract of old growth redwood trees offers a glimpse into what the entire northern California coast must have looked like before it was logged into submission. Thanks to an environmentally conscientious couple’s foresight in purchasing the land, it remains for all to enjoy. The main trail is wheelchair accessible and though it is packed with tourists, it still has a tranquil air about it as most talk in hushed tones. And why not, you’re walking amongst trees that are not only the tallest on earth, but are one of the oldest living things on the planet. If you can’t get up to camp in Redwood National Park, you should at least get out to see this small gem.

    Just 5.6 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge, Muir Woods National Monument is visited my more than one million people annually. This secluded canyon in Mill Valley protects the San Francisco Bay's last stand of Coast Redwoods, some 1,000 years old and towering over 260 feet high. Accessible hiking trails allow visitors to enjoy this cool, misty forest. There is also a cafe and a gift shop.

    The site is named for the famous naturalist, John Muir, who once said, "This is the best tree lovers monument that could possibly be found in all the forests of the world."

    To reach Muir Woods cross the Golden Gate Bridge on Hwy-101, then take the Hwy-1 exit and follow the signs. Crowds in summer are very heavy and parking is limited. We were there on a weekday in February, and even then the parking lot was full. In summer and on weekends some have had to to park along the road as much as a mile away. Another alternative would be to take one of the commercial tours out of San Francisco. Public transportation to Muir Woods is not available.

    California is full of National & State parks. Sadly most are a trip in themselves. However if your in San Francisco just drive over to Marin county and go to Muir Woods for a day-hike it's gorgeous and has huge California Redwoods (a must for all Nature-Lovers). Once your done with the Hiking head down to Stinson Beach and watch the sunset before heading back to San Francisco for the nights festivities. http://www.visitmuirwoods.com

    Peaceful and serene Muir Woods is the old-growth redwood forest closest to San Francisco. It is a 550-acre (223-hectares) preserve, with some trees 1,000 years old and as high as 252 feet (77 metres). There are easy trails to wander amongst the giant redwoods.

    Location: Off Hwy. 1, on Panoramic Way (Off Hwy. 1, near Mt. Tamalpais) Mill Valley.

    For you nature lovers, Muir Woods National Monument is where you'll find the famous and magnificent Redwood trees. There are trees that are hollowed out at the base enough that you can drive your car right through!

    Muir Woods National Park. Located north (across the Golden Gate Bridge) of San Francisco, this national park has some of the oldest redwood trees in the world.

    A nice trip out of San Francisco for either a half or full day. You get to cross the Golden Gate bridge and then enter beautiful Marin county.

    Muir woods is an ancient coastal redwood forest boasting trees to the height of 260 feet. We had a great time walking through this beautiful area which is named after the famed naturist John Muir.

    Directions - Follow Hwy 101 acorss the Goldeg Gate bridge, then California Hwy 1. Follow signs to Muir Woods Monument.
