Muir Woods

This is a spectacular Old Growth Redwood forest just 12 miles north from San Francisco. Walk through the world’s tallest trees and marvel at their size. Named by Teddy Roosevelt to honor John Muir in 1908, this site is not to be missed. As easy loop trail takes you through the magnificent forest. We suggest walking up to bridge 4 and coming back by the hillside trail, but shorter loops are also possible. Just FYI, these are not the trees you drive through (people sometimes get confused) – those are found much further north in the state. Parking reservations are now required
