Our Second Stop: Muir Woods National Monument
After a breathtaking, 40-minute drive through the city and over the Golden Gate Bridge, you’ll arrive at one of Northern California’s most incredible natural landmarks, Muir Woods National Monument! Take an unforgettable hike through the area’s towering and ancient redwoods, some of which are over a thousand years old, and experience the soul-stirring beauty that makes Muir Woods a must-see destination for anyone visiting the San Francisco Bay Area! Home to some of the tallest trees in the world, Muir Woods is the perfect place to escape the city and reconnect with nature.
It’s absolutely impossible not to feel an immense sense of peace, wonder, and tranquility as you wander along the park’s magnificent grove of Redwoods, some reaching up to 258 feet into the sky. Plus, your expert SF tour guide will share interesting facts about the history and ecology of the area so that you can get the most out of your day trip to Muir Woods! Visit Muir Woods National Monument during your next trip to San Francisco and see why it’s considered one of the most beautiful places in the Bay!
