Generous Donations Help Muir Woods Visitors Enjoy the Park a Little Longer

Although a significant amount has been raised by donors, the funds won't last for too long.

It feels like you're a million miles away in the middle of the wilderness. […] Life goes pretty fast, but this helps slow it all down and humbles us.

A Pleasanton couple expressed this to CBS News while visiting the Muir Woods National Monument in Mill County, north of San Francisco, near Mount Tamalpais.

The woodland is regarded by locals as a recreation forest, sanctuary of healing and stress relief, with facilities like visitor centers and gift shops.

Due to the government shutdown, the forest's officials were faced with a dilemma, but thanks to philanthropists, the forest will remain open until November 11, CBS News reports.
