il mesurait 60 mètres de haut ; il est toujours à la même place, au sol.
Le parc accueille aujourd’hui entre 700 000 et 850 000 visiteurs par an.

Muir Woods National Monument (California).
The star attraction of the Muir Woods is the Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens). These relatives of the Giant Sequoia are known for their height. While redwoods can grow to nearly 380 feet (115 m), the tallest tree in the Muir Woods is 258 feet (79 m). Strangely, though, the trees come from a seed no bigger than that of a tomato's. The average age of the redwoods in the Monument are between 500 and 800 years old with the oldest being at least 1,200 years old.
