Review:
Located north of San Francisco, Muir Woods National Monument is part of California’s Golden Gate National Recreation Area. What makes Muir Woods so well known are its old-growth magnificent, towering redwood trees. As if meandering through fairytale tunnels, trails run between the trees along Redwood Creek, from Cathedral Grove to Bohemian Grove. For the best views of the treetops, Mount Tamalpais, and the Pacific Ocean, take the Dipsea and Ben Johnson trails, which climb up a steep hillside. The woods, which have been used throughout history starting with the Coast Miwok people, have been declared a National Monument to ensure their protection.
