Muir Woods National Monument is located on the Pacific coast in Marin County, California , about 19 miles north of San Francisco. Occupies 226 ha of which 97 hectares is an area overgrown by huge trees Coast Redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens). To park a winding road leads to what may adversely affect the people with motion sickness, during the summer or on weekends the park is extremely popular with residents turystówi Bay Area. Muir Woods offers some interesting hiking trails for experienced hikers and for those who just want to watch high Redwoods, we find there the main route which does not require experience and good health. I admit that this park is not anything special to me and somehow put it specifically I would not recommend it. I would rather have Big Basin State Park. 
the park and its name is linked to the character of John Muir, that in the second half of the nineteenth hard fought for by the government to cover the protection of the Sierra Nevada. He led the campaign against the overuse of forests and uncontrolled logging. In 1890, at a much much thanks to his efforts, President Harrison signed the act Erection of three national parks: Yosemite (it was the second national park after Yellowstone in the U.S.), Sequoia and General Grant then turned to Kings Canyon. May 28, 1892 in San Francisco, John Muir Sierra Club assumes - the first organization of nature and environmental protection in the United States. Muir became famous as an organizer and active participant in many rescue wildlife and leave the environment unchanged. Probably the most famous and perhaps the most dramatic was the attempt to halt the construction of Hetch Hetchy dam in Yosemite Valley National Park. Despite years of effort finally battle for the protection of the valley which would be Miuir reserve is lost. A year before his death, President Woodrow Wilson signed consent for the construction of the dam, considering the arguments about the increasing demand for water nearby San Francisco. 
Muir Unquestionably the greatest achievement of Americans is to call attention to the need for conservation. His numerous publications still inspire many environmentalists and conservationists. Considered one of the most famous Californians, and his name is called several peaks and valleys, and dozens of schools and organizations. Muir to the end of his life remained an active advocate of nature, died on Dec. 24, 1914 at the age of 76 years. John Miura is still called "Father System of National Parks in the U.S. ."

Tourist Club
leaving Muir Woods Park is worth stopping at the nearby hm ... well now as it naawać? best fit here -> in the Bavarian Shelter, which offers beer (German) and snacks but most of all amazing views and really are a moment that we feel like in Europe. 
In 1912, a group of Germans living in San Francisco, who called themselves the German Nature Friends bought a piece of land in the area and built a shelter operating on a private club called The Tourist Club. 
But that here you have to go get a big chunk of the parking steep trail into the valley ... then you beat the same route up the hill!
