At Muir Woods National Monument

Mill Valley

Step into a living cathedral where 250-foot redwoods—some over a thousand years old—tower overhead and the world goes quiet. The main boardwalk trail is wonderfully accessible, but venture onto side paths for deeper stillness and the real magic of this ancient forest.

Tips

✨"pure magic" — the forest feels quieter, softer, almost sacred
