Thread: What not to miss in San Francisco - San Jose area

If you are going to San Francisco - be sure to check out the Redwood Forest! It is one of the most beautiful places in nature. The trees are gigantic, big enough to drive through. The last time one of Russian friends visited America, I took them there! It's great to hike along the trail and sing! And to get there, you drive across the Golden Gate Bridge, which you *have* to do if you're going to SF!

I've got a good bunch of locations by typing "Redwood forest" in google. Did you mean any specific location like the "Muir Woods" mentioned by zxc?

Muir Woods and Redwoods are the same place The redwoods are the types of trees in the Muir Woods so us Americans refer to Muir Woods as The Redwood Forest. 9.5 out of 10 people would not be able to tell you the proper name of Muir Woods... I knew there was a real name of the place so... I looked it up before I gave you the link

Well, I don't live in San Fransisco, but if you drive across the Golden Gate Bridge, all you have to do is follow the signs and you will get to the redwoods. They are hard to miss!!
