Towering redwoods and bubbling mountain
streams are the highlight of this once threatened California gem. Since
quick exploitation when man arrived, Muir Woods has been thoroughly
protected and monitored for its historical, natural, and nostalgic amenities.
Now a natural monument and a testament to early settlers, Muir Woods
is one of the most staggering natural attractions in the entire United
States. There are points when hiking the winding trails when it seems
vegetation will crawl right over your path and envelope hikers in the
overwhelming landscape. Streams cut through the green forest floor,
wildflowers explode all around, and drastic redwoods shoot up in an
awe-inspiring display. Upon visiting, make sure you are ready to share
the land. Wildlife such as black tail deer and crawdads have come back
to the area in large numbers.
Stop by the visitor center upon arriving on the grounds for a distinct
overview and guides to local trails and scenic spots. Hiking Muir Woods
is a humbling experience that you won’t soon forget.
