Muir Woods National Monument

Recorded April 16, 1998.

Short video of Muir Woods and Mount Tamalpais State Park.

Muir Woods National Monument is a unit of the National Park Service in Marin County, California, 12 miles north of San Francisco and part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The Monument is an old-growth coastal redwood forest. Due to its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, the forest is regularly shrouded in coastal fogs, contributing to a wet environment that encourages vigorous plant growth.

Mount Tamalpais State Park is a California state park, located in Marin County, California. The primary feature of the park is the 2,571 foot Mount Tamalpais. The park contains mostly redwood and oak forests. The mountain itself covers around 25,000 acres. There are about 60 miles of hiking trails, which are connected to a larger, 200 mile network of trails in neighboring public lands. Muir Woods National Monument is surrounded by the state park. From the peak of the mountain, visitors can see up to 25 miles, in a view that encompasses San Francisco, most of the North and East Bay, and the Farallon Islands. Occasionally, the Sierra Nevadas are visible, 125 miles away.
