Muir Woods - a deep pocket of green and old-growth beauty nestled in a cranny of a valley in Marin, just north of San Francisco. A place many Bay Area kids go on elementary field trips, and a place I try to take any out-of-town visitor. A place I've taken you before, in a manner of speaking.
This spring I went with my girlfriend for her first visit ever, and after a winter of torrential rains, it was the creek that particularly captivated my eye.
Have you ever been? What is the name of a beautiful forest near you, or that you have loved while traveling?
Beautiful! I love how delicate-looking the fronds (ferns?) growing close to the ground are. There's something really magical about forests, isn't there?
ReplyDeleteTodoroki valley is a little forest-y type place near me that I like. There's also a sprawling natural park about two hours away, but Todoroki is much closer and has that "oasis in an urban jungle" kind of feeling to it.
Ferns, yes! I agree, the way forests surround (not just around but above) is especially transporting.
DeleteTodoroki Valley looks so beautiful! What a special thing to have in the city; it looks like you could forget somewhat about the city outside when you're in it. Does it get autumn colors?
