"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 visit..."ed on a Tuesday afternoon and, while there were quite a few other people enjoying the walk, it was by no means busy or crowded.
As you might expect the trees are huge! If you haven't seen a redwood before they are seriously impressive! The rangers offer a short free talk every few hours and this was very interesting and informative so try to catch it if you can.
If you want to spend hours hiking in a remote area seeing the biggest/tallest trees then Muir Woods is probably not going to satisfy you, but if you are staying in SF and just want to see some of these living giants at a convenient location, then MW is a great option.
BTW its not the easiest place to get to without a car but we bo...

"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 o..."pted for longer exposure. The tree cover also made it feel cool so bring a jacket.
And you must visit the cafe and try the "best grilled cheese" as voted by FoodTV. We paired it with the tomato soup and we have to agree. Both were wonderful! It was about $14 for the combo.

"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 and salads as well as a small grill - all at very reasonable prices.
