5/26/14. After spending the morning at the Mary Blair exhibit at the Disney Family Museum, we drove over the Golden Gate Bridge and up the hills to the Muir Woods National Historic Monument. The weather was perfect and the park was quite crowded. It was great to see so many people who wanted to experience the amazing beauty and feeling of the national parks.
We really enjoyed learning more about the redwoods and comparing them to our experiences with the Sequoias in November. There was a similar feeling of quiet stillness and awe. We loved all of the redwood sorrel growing in the underbrush. They looked like huge clover. It was also cool to see all the spring growth on the ends of the tree fronds.
We again realized how much we love trees - it must be from growing up with so many trees. Here are more photos of the woods from our terrific afternoon:
