I've been wanting to see the redwoods since I was a little kid, and this trip did not disappoint. It was truly an awe-inspiring experience and should most definitely be on your itinerary if you are in San Francisco. I dare say this was actually better than Alcatraz. If you do go, get there early.

You could spend anywhere from2 to 4 hours in the Muir Woods. To capture the trees, I think it would be best to have a camcorder. The trees are to tall to use a... More

One thing about natural history is that despite all your fore knowledge and assumptions you can still be overawed and surprised by the real thing. Those trees just have to be seen.
