Absolutely worth the visit. Nice comfortable hike around the park. The redwoods were incredible. I was really happy that I had a tripod as the dense trees make it very dark and photography was a challenge (I'm very amateur but folks with a point and shoot seemed to be taking a lot of pictures) - I opted for longer exposure....

Even though I was there on a Saturday and there were lots of people, it didn't feel crowded. There are wide paths and it is a big park. For someone like me who has never seen redwoods, this was awe inspiring. It is just a beautiful, peaceful place. The cafe in the park also has a selection of fresh sandwiches... More

We were staying in San Francisco and wanted to see some redwoods. After reading some reviews on TA we nearly rented a car and drove to Big Basin to avoid the crowds but, after visiting Muir Woods, we were happy with our choice. I was worried that Muir Woods would be rammed with tourists but we visited on a Tuesday... More

I was afraid after visiting Mariposa Grove in Yosemite first, Muir Woods wouldn't impress me, but I was wrong. Very beautiful place and tucked away in a trendy little area. Parking was an absolute nightmare and we later found out there was a shuttle off of Hwy 1 that takes you straight in, but unfortunately we entered from the opposite... More

I understand they're... More

You shall not miss this! Absolutely gorgeous, the vegetation and species you found here are beautiful, this is a must! Really peaceful and the views here anywhere you look are dreamy. Everything is AMAZING!

For those who are travelling to the Bay Area, while it takes awhile to make the drive to the park, it is more than worth the trip. And yes, I agree that you can easily 'see' Muir Woods in an hour, however, this is far more than place to look it; it's a space where you will find your blithe... More

Cannot describe how beautiful and majestic the redwood forest is! Less than an hour from San Francisco, it is a wonderful way to commune with nature. It even smells wonderful! You can try to drive there, but I strongly recommend taking the tour. The road there is treacherous and windy (no guardrails) and its a very popular destination - cars... More

Beautiful nature. Did a little walking around the park. Smell very woody and when it is very warm out it's a nice cool place to be at. You can see it in an hour.
