The Muir Woods National Monument is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and is managed by the National Park Service. It endeavours to protect old growth coast redwood forests, of which only a handful still remain in the San Francisco Bay Area. Walk through this amazing forest and become one with nature. Capture stunning photographs of light filtering through the majestic redwood. Cool and moist all year round, the forest provides a respite from the heat of the Californian sun. So experience this primeval forest up close and personal, take in the beauty of the protected coast redwood, and enjoy the peace and serenity of the place. For nature lovers, this will be heaven.
