Enter the Redwood Forest

Walk among old growth redwoods, cooling their roots in the fresh water of Redwood Creek, and lifting their crowns to reach the sun. Federally protected as a National Monument since 1908, this primeval forest is both refuge and laboratory, revealing our relationship with the living landscape. What will you discover in Muir Woods?
