Mill Valley is the land of mighty redwoods

They erupt all over the town, and creep up to unimaginable heights with the beautiful reserves of the Muir Woods. Mount Tamalpais is the great peak that crashes over the horizon to the west – it cascades dramatically down to meet the roaring waves of the Pacific on its far side.
