Muir Woods

Coast redwoods are the tallest trees in the world, and Muir Woods is one of the best places to see them. The woods are located in Marin County, just north of San Francisco, and they contain some of the tallest and oldest redwoods in existence. Visitors can walk among the giants, cooling their roots in the fresh water of Redwood Creek and lifting their crowns to reach the sun and fog. The tall trees cast long shadows on the forest floor, and the sound of silence is broken only by the trickle of water or the call of a bird. Muir Woods offers a chance to feel small in a vast and ancient place, and it is an experience you will never forget.
