Muir Woods by Harmony Meadow

Muir Woods National Monument is located on Mount Tamalpais near the Pacific coast about 12 miles north of San Francisco. The trails in this beautiful park follow alongside Redwood Creek and are surrounded by towering old growth coastal redwood trees. I visited this park on two separate days in February 2017. I initially didn’t realize there were water features in this park, but since I almost always take my audio recording equipment with me when hiking, I was able to capture some amazing recordings of Redwood Creek, including some beautiful sections of waterfalls accessible from some of the surrounding trails.

As with all my stream and waterfall recordings, I tend to record many different "sound textures" - ranging from the heavy flow of the waterfalls to little babbling sections of the stream, to the birds and other animals in the surrounding forests. I weave these different sound textures together in gradually evolving combinations to keep the sound fresh to the listener’s ear.

This recording is divided into two parts but is intended to play continuously. You may hear a small gap between the two parts depending on your playback system.
