Muir Woods

"This is the best tree-lovers monument that could possibly be found in all the forests of the world," declared conservationist John Muir when describing the majestic coast redwoods of Muir Woods.

Muir Woods National Monument is reached by an extremely curvy road - far from ideal if you suffer from motion sickness. There are impressive red woods here. The trees are so big that the sunlight barely enters along the short path provided for tourists. The path is short (a couple miles) and circles around passing over and under rivers. It was exceptionally hard to take good pictures in the low light setting and we experiments frantically with and without flash.
