Yosemite National Park, the flagship of America's National Park Service, is only a few hours from San Francisco while remaining to be a magnificent wilderness that will complete your trip to Northern California.

Muir Woods National Monument offers some of the finest scenery and Redwood Groves anywhere. This gem in San Francisco's backyard was created when William Kent donated 295 acres of Redwoods to the Federal government in 1905 to protect it from being clear-cut.
