59) Muir Woods National Monument

Visited: Sunday, July 1st, 2012

Muir Woods was the end of one journey and the start of another for us.  It was the end of our time in San Francisco, and the end of our exploration of Muir's influence in that area.  Of course, Muir's only contribution to the site was to have it named for him; the principals in the site were Teddy Roosevelt and William Kent.  But it's a beautiful tribute to the man - a relaxing and majestic redwood site, with a thriving wildlife culture.

Of course, all we really got to see was the trees, but that was plenty.  I'd definitely recommend going during the week, if possible, as it's _busy_ on weekends, even very early in the day when we arrived.
