 Muir Woods National Monument is in Marin County, California, just a few miles north of San Francisco. The 558-acre monument preserves one of the last remaining ancient redwood forests in the Bay Area. Some of the redwoods are nearly 1,000 years old and reach heights of more than 250 feet.
Named for conservationist John Muir, it was the 10th national monument to be designated under the Antiquities Act of 1906, the first to be in proximity to a major city, and the first to consist of formerly privately-owned lands.
Today, Muir Woods National Monument is home to more than 380 different plants and animals, including 27 species of mammals, 50 species of birds, 12 species of reptiles, and 5 species of amphibians. - in: https://gomuirwoods.com

One of the most enduring fall traditions in the U.S. is going to a pumpkin patch to choose your very own pumpkin to decorate or carve and partaking in all the fun fall activities that go along with it.
Pumpkins grow in many different places across America, which means that pumpkin patches are accessible from lots of major cities from coast to coast. Pumpkin patches are fun for families with kids, but they also make for a great outing as adults looking to get outside and celebrate too. Lots of pumpkin patches offer more than just pumpkins too. At these farms, you can learn about how pumpkins are grown, hop on a hayride, tour a spooky barn, taste pumpkin-flavored goodies, and find your way through a corn maze. - in: https://www.tripstodiscover.com
