"This is the best tree-lovers monument that could possibly be found in all the forests of the world" John Muir
Lively streams and wildlife augment great hiking under a huge canopy of old growth redwoods - Muir Woods delights many beyond its namesake.
A National Monument within Mt Tamalpais State Park, Muir Woods has limited parking and by-car visitors should arrive early to get a spot.
