He arrived in San Francisco in 1868 at the age of thirty and immediately set out on a walk that was take the rest of his life and was to see him explore most of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.  Nearby Muir Woods were also named in his memory and preserve some of the largest redwood trees in the San Francisco area.
