A failed attempt to visit Muir Woods

Sat, 06 Dec 2008 10:20:00 GMT

The day after Thanksgiving we mounted an expedition to Muir Woods. The drive from our place is quite interesting, as you cut through San Francisco on the way. When we got there it was really crowded, despite only being about 10:30am. In the end we had to park way down the access road. Because the kids would have been tired out by the mere walk back to the redwoods, we instead went for a wander down one of the other tracks near where the car was parked. It was really nice, although not very redwoody. In fact, the hills in the distance felt quite "Australia" with all their dead grass and eucalyptus trees. I was glad we went, even though we didn't see many redwoods.
