[August 2008]What: Muir Woods National Monument
Who: Me, Kristi, Matt, Joseah, Nasri, Ariel, Caroline R., Ethan
Where: Marin County
Cost: $3 shuttle ride, $5 entrance fee
Sunday morning I was able to drag Caroline and Ariel with us to the Muir Woods. That morning, none of us knew what we were in for so unfortunately, we were a bit unprepared with our designer jeans on and non-hiking shoes.
Shortly after our arrival, we discovered what we were in for: 554 acres of forested area populated by Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), one of the last remaining stands in the immediate SF Bay.
"One hundred fifty million years ago ancestors of redwood and sequoia trees grew throughout the United States. Today, the Sequoia Sempervirens can be found only in a narrow, cool coastal belt from Monterey to Oregon."
Here are a few photographed highlights - you must check out the Muir Woods for yourself. We're already planning our 2nd trek. This time, we'll be more prepared.
