National Monument - California, United States
Muir Woods National Monument protects 558 acres of old-growth coast redwood forest, some of the last remaining in the San Francisco Bay Area. The monument features trees over 1,000 years old and 250 feet tall, creating a cathedral-like canopy along Redwood Creek. Named after naturalist John Muir, it serves as a living laboratory for scientific research and environmental education. The monument is managed by the National Park Service.
