Muir Woods National Monument is part of California’s Golden Gate National Recreation Area, north of San Francisco. It’s known for its towering old-growth redwood trees. Trails wind among the trees to Cathedral Grove and Bohemian Grove, and along Redwood Creek.
Muir Woods is the first National Monument that was created solely because of a land donation from an individual. Congressman William Kent donated the land to protect redwoods, some of which are over 150 years old, from the logging industry boom.

Forests, fern forests, streams, small waterfalls - just beautiful! It is a bit of a hike - and if you are not a fairly strong hiker, you may need to rest along the way. At one point, you'll need to climb up a short ladder to continue on the trail. You may want to bring a picnic lunch as there were great places to sit (on a fallen log or a rock overlooking the stream) and look at the scenery.
