Muir Woods National Monument




Muir Woods is the beginning of the Redwood Forest and is an amazing place. A battle in Star Wars was filmed in the Redwood Forest where the troopers were flying in and out of the tree trunks. We picked a random tree and all five of us tried to hold hands around it and we did not come close to touching. It is just impossible to capture in a picture what these look like. In the picture with the kids, they are all inside the tree; it is not two trees! We hear our next stop, Yosemite National Park, has the giant Redwoods too!
