Muir Woods, CA

Over the weekend we went for a visit to Muir Woods. This is one of those places that is right in our backyard but we never seem to get to. It's very tourist-y these days and is impossible to visit during the summer months. Since school is back in we thought it might be a little less crowded.

It is amazingly peaceful here, even with all the tourists, it somehow is quiet and serene.

Johnnie LOVED it. He ran the entire time we were on the flat trail.

I love Muir woods. Actually I love any woods were redwoods are present. I've never felt more spiritual than in a redwood forest. Beautiful photos.

Muir Woods is an awesome place and I recommend it to everyone who's going anywhere near that area. It's so peaceful there (I must have been lucky in the day I went as it was very quiet and not a lot of people). As a birdwatcher, I was surprised to find only a few warblers. Then I realized that the woods don't have very many insects (hence food for birds) due to the type of trees. Anyway, it was a beautiful experience being there.
