History of Sausalito: The enchanting and charming Mediterranean-style coastal town of Sausalito is filled with history, culture, and beautiful waterfront shops. But Sausalito was once a settlement for the native Coast Miwok and then inhabited by the Spanish explorers after 1776, and until 1821 when the Mexicans took over the Spanish territories in California. In the post-Gold Rush Era, Sausalito played a major role in leisure, commercial and even military Maritime transportation. This Era came to an end in May 1937 with the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge bypassing Sausalito and making these large-scale ferry operations redundant. But Sausalito will soon receive a steady stream of visitors thanks to this new Golden Gate Bridge. We are now heading towards Mill Valley.
Mill Valley is characterized by its scenic views, marshlands and wooded canyons. Mill Valley is known for being a village with a strong artistic heritage. Its home to many present and former musicians, authors, actors, poets and TV personalities including John Lennon, Sammy Hagar, Janis Joplin, Jack London, Kathleen Quinlan, Michael Tucker, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman , Eve Arden and Mariel Hemingway. There is also a famous High School in Mill Valley called Tamalpais named after nearby Mount Tamalpais, which rises more than 2,500 feet above Mill Valley.
Muir Woods National Monument is home to the Coastal Redwoods, the tallest trees on Earth.
Muir Woods National Monument is one of the last groves of the coastal giant Redwoods in California located in San Francisco Bay Area. Muir Woods national park was named after the conservationist John Muir and father founder of the Sierra Club. The Coast Redwood trees can live to be 800 to 2000 years or older, and up to 3580 feet or more in height. They are the tallest on Earth. During the gold rush in California, lumber was a very necessary commodity for gold mining. The Redwood trees were logged on the basis of accessibility but some were saved thanks to William Kent who purchased 611 acres of Redwoods that would become Muir Woods. To protect the ancient Redwood forest from destruction William Kent donated 295 acres of this land to the federal government who declared it as a National Monument. President Theodore Roosevelt wanted to name the redwood park after William Kent, William refused and asked for it to be named after John Muir, the famous conservationist.
Muir Beach Overlook: After Muir Woods guided tour, our tour guide will drive you to the beautiful Muir Beach overlook. Muir Beach Overlook This breathtaking vista point overlooks a picturesque quiet cove; a hidden beach and beautiful lagoons.
