Muir Woods - A Journey to a World of Redwood Forest
Breathtaking beauty with plenty of sky touching trees, sun playing hide and seek behind the high branches and small streams running down the slope. All these describe Muir Woods, part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area which is a must visit place for nature lovers. This isolated and ancient redwood forest lies near the Pacific coast of California and is quite close to the foot of Mt. Tamalpais. Here one can stroll through 1000 year old giant trees towering 260 feet high. A day long Muirwood tour not only offers solitude but plenty of more things to enjoy such as numerous hiking trails.
