OUR FAMILY HAS ALWAYS VISITED MUIR WOODS WHENEVER WE CAN. IT IS SUCH A NEAT PLACE WITH RUNNING CREEKS AND TRAILS OF RAISED WOOD WITH RAILINGS FOR THE BLIND. THEY HAVE A CUTE INTERPRETIVE CENTER AS WELL WHERE YOU CAN BUY POSTCARDS OF THE WOODS AND FIND SOUVENIRS OF ALL KINDS.
THEIR INTERPRETERS TELL ABOUT HOW OLD THE REDWOOD TREES ARE AND HOW THIS FOREST DEVELOPED. THERE ARE MANY TOURISTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. MANY HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A REDWOOD FOREST BEFORE. THERE ARE GROVES NAMED AFTER IMPORTANT PEOPLE AND BENCHES AS WELL AS GROVES IN MEMORIAM OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE. THE PARK IS NAMED AFTER JOHN MUIR, EARLY EXPLORER FROM SAN FRANCISCO.
IT HAS MANY BIRDS AND BLACK TAILED DEER AROUND THE REDWOOD GROVES AS WELL AS BUTTERFLIES. IT IS A PEACEFUL SANCTUARY IN A HEAVILY POPULATED AREAS OF MARIN COUNTY.
THE PORTUGUESE HASD MANY FARMS NEAR THIS PARK WHERE THEY RAISED CATTLE AND SHEEP AND MADE GOAT CHEESE.
I REMEMBER RECORDING A HISTORIC RANCH THAT WAS OWNED BY THE STATE PARKS IN THIS AREA.
