These trees were here long before San Francisco was built. 🌲
POV: one fact about redwoods changes the way you view the forest forever 🌲
Spend up to 90 minutes here on our Famous Tour with Muir Woods, with the drive and the reservation handled.
Most of the redwoods here are 600 to 800 years old, and the oldest has stood for at least 1,200. And there's a saying at Muir Woods that a redwood only spends half its life standing. The other half, it spends on the ground.
A fallen redwood becomes a nursery for seedlings, slowly turns back into soil, and feeds the giants still standing around it.
Muir Woods has never been logged, so that cycle has kept going on its own.
