A 2-minute highlight from our trip to Muir Woods National Monument. Muir Woods is part of Golden Gate National Recreation Area on California's rugged Northern Coast within an hour of San Francisco. Home to California's coastal redwoods, the tallest trees on the planet, this sanctuary of old growth redwoods was set aside by President Theodore Roosevelt 100 years ago. "This is the best tree-lovers monument that could possibly be found in all the forests of the world," declared conservationist John Muir when describing the majestic coast redwoods of Muir Woods.
Muir Woods is also home to Banana Slugs, North Americas largest land mollusk.
Muir Woods is explored in Finley-Holiday Films' "California Parks & Monuments DVD" as is available on location at Muir Woods National Monument and from www.finleyholiday.com.

Something most Muir Woods visitors don't realize, is that the world's tallest Pine in Oregon and world's tallest Hemlock in Humboldt county, CA, stand taller than every coast redwood in Muir Woods. The farther north, the bigger and taller the redwoods become. The gemstone of all redwood parks may be Prairie Creek. But the 10 largest coast redwoods are in Humboldt Redwoods SP, Prairie Creek Redwoods SP, Redwood National Park, and Jedediah Smith Redwoods SP. And with virtually no crowds.

This is beautiful! Each of these clips alone would have been brilliant, but together they make something truly special. :)
