Today we took our day off as an opportunity to explore the beautiful Muir Woods. This is a park just north of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco that is a forest of huge and magnificent Coastal Redwood trees. Some of these trees reach over 300 feet tall and 20 feet in diameter! These trees, here in California are the tallest living things in the world!
