Muir Woods

Muir Woods National Monument, a protected nature reserve just minutes from San Francisco, is home to one of the world’s last remaining coastal redwood forests. Nestled within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which also includes Fort Baker and Stinson Beach, this forest offers a serene escape. Visitors can hike through groves of towering redwoods, their trunks reaching skyward and creating a canopy of dappled light. The park provides opportunities for relaxation and picnicking, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the natural beauty and tranquility of these ancient trees.
