Muir Woods
Muir Woods is located near San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge and eleven miles north. Here is the official National Park Service words about the park. Of all the traveling I've done out west this was the first time I've seen redwoods!
When John Muir learned that William and Elizabeth Kent were naming a redwood forest near San Francisco in his honor, he declared, "This is the best tree-lovers monument that could possibly be found in all the forests of the world." The couple had purchased the land to preserve its beauty and restful wilderness; and in 1908, they donated it to the federal governent to protect it from destruction.
