You step off the private SUV at the foot of a cathedral of redwoods; the air is cool, resinous, and the trunks rise like living columns demanding slow breaths. The morning walk through Muir Woods unfolds along boardwalks and packed-earth trails under Coast Redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) that survived early logging and now draw visitors for their ancient scale and calm.
