Book Description

July 1999
In this detailed, engaging profile of Muir Woods--a redwood wilderness just north of San Francisco--a cartoon park ranger named Mia shows you places to stay, ways to get around, and activities to enjoy at any time of the year. The book is organized in a convenient question-and-answer format and offers a reference section that includes, among other things, a telephone directory, a guide to area resources, a backpacker's checklist, and an overview of regional educational programs. Susan Frank worked closely with the Muir Woods staff to ensure the accuracy of the text, and cartoonist Phil Frank's deft illustrations add a welcome dose of levity to the book. This is the third in Susan and Phil Frank's Handbook series.

Paperbound book, 143 pages, original cartoon on almost every page, size: 5 5/8 x 8 5/8".

This review is from: The Muir Woods Handbook: An Insider's Guide to the Park, as Related by Ranger MIA (Paperback)
This wonderful book is a great guide to Muir Woods National Monument. The informative text is provided by Susan Frank, and the wonderful cartoons featured throughout this 144 page book are the work of her late husband, Phil Frank.

This handbook tells you everything you will need to know about planning a trip to this great little redwood forest. Fun facts & history, are mixed in well with tips on what time of day is best for viewing wildlife, and where to stay and dine in Marin County. You can find out just which trail will suit your needs, and timeframe within the park and beyond.

And with the addition of Phil's cartoons, this book is a bunch more fun than walking around and only having the park's handout as your guide. With a little imagination, this book and by reserving your lodging via the Internet. You will have all the proper tools in making a great and successful journey to this wonderful redwood grove.

I have tested this book, with a visit to the park in September of this year. The only flaw herein, is that this edition of the handbook is from 1999. And you will need to consult your computer to find out just what the 2009 prices are.

Great little guide
