Summer Fun Trip to California 2018 - Muir Woods

Chase like most kids loves to be outdoors and exploring nature. Hiking is one of our favorite ways to explore this beautiful world and discover new and exciting places. From San Francisco we drove a short distance to Muir Woods.

Muir Woods National Monument is part of California’s Golden Gate National Recreation Area, north of San Francisco. It’s known for its towering old-growth redwood trees. Trails wind among the trees to Cathedral Grove and Bohemian Grove, and along Redwood Creek. The Ben Johnson and Dipsea trails climb a hillside for views of the treetops, the Pacific Ocean and Mount Tamalpais in adjacent Mount Tamalpais State Park.

There was so much to do at Muir Woods we could have spent an entire week there! 

The following day we got to visit our friends at Wingate Mini Horses, so cute to see all the baby horses and puppies! 

As we drove down the coast we stopped off at the mysterious Winchester house, it was a little scary but really cool. The Winchester Mystery House is a mansion in San Jose, California, that was once the personal residence of Sarah Winchester, the widow of firearm magnate William Wirt Winchester. It is believed to be haunted, boo!
