The Beautiful Redwoods One of the best nature experiences available in the Bay Area. Note that there are limitations to entrance and parking so you have to plan.

Lovely, clean park with magnificent stands of redwood trees. Be ware of the drive to get there and back. The trees are of course amazing and the main trails very clear and easy.

Awseome Giants Parking was easy and my National Park pass got us in for free. It wasn't crowded and standing beneath these glorious trees, gave a sense us of great peace in these crazy times.

Muir Woods has a rich and varied history, from its use by the Coast Miwok people, to its early days of tourism and the Mount Tamalpais Mill Valley Scenic Railway, to an era of conservation, to modern preservation. In each era, the forest has been affected by the actions of humans, for better or for worse. Part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, this coastal redwood preserve features majestic redwoods and scenic hiking trails that draw more than 1.5 million visitors each year.
