Day Trip-Muir Woods

The south bay is known for its high tech. The north bay is known for its nature. Case in point, Muir Woods. A stand of the oldest living redwoods in northern California. These coastal redwoods reach up to 200 ft tall and are over 300 years old.

A nominal entrance fee allows you to walk through and amongst these giants. Paved pathways and boardwalks guide you through the forest and streams. A dual purpost as the guided paths protect the broad yet shallow root structure of these natural skyscrapers.
A felled tree's life is dcumented by counting it's rings and revealing the history that it has stood up to for so long.
