Muir Woods is in California. It is a national monument for tree lovers. It is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. There are many redwood trees there. You can hike on trails through the woods.
Muir Woods became a national monument about one hundred years ago. It is famous for its redwood and sequoia trees. These trees are the tallest living things on Earth. They make up an old-growth forest. Old-growth forests have old and large trees. The forest has three different layers. The layers are like a house. The bottom layer is like a carpet. The middle layer is like the furniture. The top layer is like the ceiling in a house. Dead trees are also a part of an old-growth forest. The things in an old-growth forest depend on each other.
