Really learned a lot about the red woods. Enjoyed our hike the Ocean View trail. We got to the peak, then took the Lost trail to Fern Trail back to the entrance. It was about a 5 mile hike. Very peaceful. Parking is a bit of a challenge, but we did find a parking place in the parking lot our... More

Muir Woods is a great outdoor experience outside San Francisco. The park has multiple trails of varying difficulty -- we started on the paved trail, but diverted to an unpaved one up in the woods (and I definitely mean "up"), climbing through the giant redwoods. This is definitely a do not miss stop. Plus, to get there, you have to... More

Muir Woods is a very beautiful park! We visited on a Wed around 10am and got parking in the second lot. By the time we left around 1pm the lots were packed and people were almost running us over to get our space. Tip: Go early! We hiked the main loop and then took one of the higher trails. Most...

Yes, Muir Woods is lovely, however, if you call your home anywhere from Indiana eastward, you see this all the time. The area is crowded to the max. The boardwalk teems with people. If you are looking for solitude, peace, quiet and meditation, Muir Woods isn't it. You MIGHT be okay if you take a four mile trail hike.

Spent a half-day here during the summer and it was cool and relaxing, peaceful and breathtaking...after the hustle and bustle of San Francisco, this was a quiet way to spend the morning enjoying nature.

Great park. 7$ admission fee. Must see if you have never seen big trees. Lots of shade in the afternoon. Tomato soup and grilled cheese are excellent at the cafe

This is also a must see for anyone in the SFO area. We took a taxi to Sausalito for $35 and caught the Muir Woods shuttle to the forest for $5 round trip. On our return we took the ferry from Sausalito to SFO for $11 per person. These woods are amazing and beautiful. Picture opportunities are limitless. The trails... More

We went on a tour. The first plus is that you go across the Golden Gate bridge. The second is that trees in Muir Wood are magnificent. Most of the tours then do a stop off in Sausalito which is nice enough (if you want to shop). From there it is possible to to catch the ferry back but it... More

I reluctantly booked a tour for this trip as I didn't have time to figure out how to get there by myself. I booked through Viator and the sightseeing company was 'Super Sightseeing Tours'. It also incorporated Sausalito on the way back (which I'd already been to anyway but was part of the tour). Pros 1. Driver (and tour guide)... More
