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!
