Enjoy the enchanting beauty of woods at San Francisco tours

May 21st, 2010

Think of San Francisco and you are sure to dream about many wonderful attractions. The city is famous for a number of exotic tourist destinations both in the city and nearby. The best way to explore the beauty of the city would be by taking a San Francisco sightseeing tours. There would be many wonderful locations and among them one of the most popular would be the Muir Woods National Monument. It has been seen that thousands of tourists visit the park each other for exploring the majestic redwood trees and also for its mesmerizing charm. As people stroll through the beautiful paths among the regal tress, they can listen to the soft whisper of the trees as if they were speaking to each other. The place is an abode of peace and serenity.  When you take the sanfranshuttletours, you are sure to relieve all the stress out of the mind.

According to the records many of the redwood trees have reached heights of 260 feet tall. Because of the massive shade offered by the trees, wildlife is not so much prevalent here. But if you are lucky, you may see deer, chipmunks, newts, and various species of birds. In addition you may also come across river otters, great egrets, spotted owls and many other creatures too. There would also be other indigenous plants in the area.

While taking the San Francisco tours to Muir woods, you can find that the trees are almost 45 times taller than you are. Usually the tour guiding is not allowed in the park as the trees themselves would speak volumes. However when you are traveling with sanfranshuttletours, the knowledgeable guides will give great information about what you are going to see while you are driving to the park. This is only possible with the sanfranshuttletours as it is the only San Francisco tour that offers a separate guide apart from driver. Since there are separate tour guides from drivers, your driver will be focusing on the road while your tour guide is giving you information.

Most of the tourist found it interesting to take an easy walk right into the heart of the forest. After you enjoy the beauty at Muir woods, you also have the opportunity to wind down to Muir beach. This breathtaking shoreline offers tourists a chance to rest before continuing their exploration further. With sanfranshuttletours, the tourist would also get a chance to visit the Marin Headlands and Sausalito.
