Exactly.

 

Something like Muir Woods near San Fran, would be a huge compromise compared the league of forest up near Avenue of the Giants. Maybe just a few hour drive and worth it.

Muir Woods is also much more a touristy area than Avenue of the Giants, especially this time of year.

Muir Woods still has trees that are probably taller than anything in your country and every other around you. But if this helps convey the greatness of Avenue of the Giants ...

 

Muir Woods reaches around 260 ft. max ... the tallest redwood wherever it happens to be in the park.

 

Avenue of the Giants has plenty 300 ft and taller, maxing-out close to 370 ft. at it's peak point.

 

All that goes hand-in-hand with size too.

Done both Muir woods and Avenue of the Giants. Did Muir woods on my first visit to SF and Mario is right. It's nice but it's all over in an hour and although the trees are spectacular they're not a patch on further north. Avenue of the Giants is something else. Make the effort and take the time to maybe spend maybe a night up the coast and really experience the true Giants. They are most definitely worth the effort.
