Spring is a time when the woods are home to various flowers, fungi and young animals.
Summer in Muir Woods brings the cool fog in from over the Pacific Ocean to quench the thirst of the Coast Redwoods. Autumn is a great time to watch the Bigleaf Maple turn color and shed its leaves. Winter brings the yearly salmon migration to Redwood Creek. Some photos copyright by James M. Morley, from his book Muir Woods .
