Today R and I went to Muir woods and spent the day hiking through the redwood trees. We go several times a year and every time I'm amazed at the natural beauty of it all. The stream which can be little more than a dribble at certain times of the year was rushing with all of the rainwater from our recent storms creating beautiful small waterfalls. The best part is it's only $5 a person to get in! When you add in the $6 bridge toll, $3 for the snacks we took, $10 for the In N Out we ate after (we love In N Out, it's a rare guilty pleasure) and we had a great Saturday for $30 and also used up the last of our prepaid Zipcar $$ for the month instead of letting it expire. And as an added bonus, we also got some good exercise.
If you live in the bay area and have never been to Muir Woods to see the redwood trees, you should really consider going. Depending on where you want to go you can hike for an hour or for a day. You can walk along streams, pass trees more than 300 feet tall, hike to the ocean and walk along the beach or just hang out in the visitor center and gift shop - which incidentally has some pretty cool gifts for your friends and family that enjoy nature.
