From San Francisco, how far north would I need to drive to see the redwood trees?

I don't necessarily need to drive to Redwood National park, do I?From San Francisco, how far north would I need to drive to see the redwood trees?
Muir Woods is about 10 +/- miles from S. F. and well worth a trip to see the magnificent redwood trees in that park. Take a Camera a enjoy walking along the paths.
The redwoods at Russian River are gorgeous. It's about an hour from San Francisco. You first cross the Golden Gate Bridge, which is so fun.

The whole area around Guerneville and Russian River is so beautiful!From San Francisco, how far north would I need to drive to see the redwood trees?
It depends on which redwood trees you want to see. If you want just redwood trees, then Muir Woods is perfect. If you are looking for those highly, popularized redwood trees (giant sequoias), then you will need to drive a good few hours more.

Yosemite also has three groves of redwoods.
Muir woods is only about 12- 15 miles north of the city.



If you don't want to leave the city the Transamerica Building has a redwood grove next to it.
Just across the Golden Gate Bridge to Mt. Tamalpais.

Muir Woods is 1 hour from San Francisco on Hwy 101 to Hwy 1 in Marin County.
I think Muir Woods is the best place to see them thats near SF. Its about 10 miles away.
