Exploring The Redwoods – Muir Woods National Monument, California
Muir Woods is a very small park with a few loop trails of various distances through the redwoods. The hikes are relatively short and easy, but if you want to spend more time exploring you can extend your hikes into the surrounding Mount Tamalpais State Park.
Upon entering the forest, I immediately felt dwarfed by the enormous redwood trees. There is a calmness to the woods that follows you as you walk along the trails, making the park feel magical. It’s surreal to be in the presence of trees so old and humungous, and there are stunning views around every corner to remind you how amazing nature is.
A visit to Muir Woods will leave you completely awestruck and fill you with so much peace and serenity. It is sure to impress visitors of any age and is a place you must experience for yourself!
