Muir Woods Upper Catchment Soundscape (1hr)

Muir Woods is nestled at the foot of Mt. Tamalpais, near where it meets the Pacific Ocean. The floor of the valley where this extraordinary redwood forest makes its home is a popular place for tourists and locals alike to visit. It is popular mainly because of its extraordinary beauty but it doesn't hurt that Star Wars: Return of the Jedi located the filming of the Endor scenes (home of the Ewoks) not far from here. Because of this, as beautiful as it is, it lacks the solitude and peace that many crave when they seek out time in the wilderness. A little accessed part of the landscape lies only a couple of miles above the valley floor in a network of mostly empty trails that crisscross some of the most dramatic landscape in Northern California. This audio recording takes you to that place in a soundscape devoted primarily to a little waterfall tucked into one of these upper canyons. With names like BootJack and Spike Buck Creeks, it is a land of grandeur and history. The soundscape is designed for when you are looking for a simple natural background noise to your meditation or falling asleep time. Thanks to the eagerness and volume of the bubbling brook, it is particularly well suited for environments that are a bit noisy. If you are in a busy airport terminal or noisy bus, or perhaps just have neighbors that are being inconsiderate with their noise late at night, you might find this soundscape from California's Redwood forests of some solace.
