Natural History Wanderings

Muir Woods reopened Thursday after a four-day closure caused by damage from this week’s storm, park officials announced. Impacts from the storm’s high winds caused some of Muir Woods’ famous redwood trees to topple over, the National Park Service’s Golden Gate National Recreation Area said in an Instagram post. One fallen tree was so large that it blocked the Bohemian Grove trail and destroyed a section of boardwalk on the other side of Redwood Creek.
