My husband and I visited Muir Woods on our recent trip to the U.S. We had read some good reviews about it, and usually enjoy hiking, so thought it would be a fun way to spend an afternoon. We saw a sign showing a map of some of the walking trails you could take, and we decided to do the... more

Just some helpful advice when going to Muir Woods. We highly recommend it as the view are magnificent! However, if you don't have your own transportation make sure you get the correct directions. We were told several different things regarding the bus transportation - and even when the concierge called they got incorrect information. It appears not too many people... more

We visited the Muir Woods in the morning during a trip to San Francisco. The beauty and peacefulness of the woods is wonderful. The Redwoods are unbelievably old and I think everyone should visit!! We were lucky enough to see two deer when we visited. Also, our pictures turned out wonderful - take lots! Another note, the admission is $5... more

When I visited San Francisco i wanted to go see some nature and decided that Muir woods would be the perfect place. We got there early around 10:00 am and got really good parking. The trees are so tall and the whole park is pretty. When we left around 1:00pm everything was crowded and the only parking was blocks away,... more

My son and I visited this beautiful park setting one afternoon this past summer on a side trip from San Francisco. A lifelong east coast resident, I can remember being enthralled with the pictures in my grade school geography books showing the stately California redwoods and sequoia trees. Visiting this area and seeing the trees had always been on my... more

My family and I visited Muir Woods as part of a trip from San Fransisco to Mt. Shasta. the drive there was gorgeous and awe inspiring. Once we arrived we found parking to be crazy. We arrived around 11am and spent about an hour trying to find a parking spot. We did visit at the end of July. Once in... more

I was in San Fran for Labor Day weekend and we tried to fill every minute with something to do. i had heard nothing but good things about Muir woods and we decided to make this national park part of our itinerary. Boy, are we glad we did! The redwoods are gorgeous and the park itself is simply breathtaking. Depending... more

On our recent trip to San Francisco we visited Muir Woods. We were warned to get there early because parking is at a premium. Since we had a late start and feared we missed the parking we used a bus provided some distance away (we saw a sign stating the bus was for Muir Woods). That worked out okay and... more

The drive out from San Francisco was pretty. Parking was a bit of a challenge, but if you don't mind walking it isn't a big deal. This is an easy walk for the whole family, with some additonal trails if you want to do something more challenging. more
