Page Views: 98            Last Visit to Muir Woods National Monument: July, 2004      

One of those places to be sure to see.

by islandtaryn - last update: Aug 8, 2005

I lived in northern California from May through July 04. During those months, Muir Woods became a favorite place to visit.
Approximately 95% of the old growth coastal redwoods have been cut down. You can see some of that remaining 5% here. One of park rangers here told me that all those fabulous victorian houses in San Francisco are built of coastal redwood. Conservationist John Muir recognized decades ago that this last stand needed to remain. I am so glad he was such a man of vision and had the persistence to see it through.

More beautiful redwoods

If you hike the trail that winds along the northerly edge of the park, this is the view that will greet you at the top.
I paused for a bit in the shade an snapped a few pics.
That's the Pacific in the distance.
