Only about 16 miles north of San Francisco grows the famous ancient coastal redwood forest known as Muir Woods National Monument.

The park offers solitude, interpretive displays and programs, and numerous hiking trails. It’s an unforgettable place to visit if you’re in the Bay Area and one of the most popular day trips from San Francisco. In other words, you really can’t visit San Francisco and not hike through Muir Woods.

Use this site to explore the best ways of getting up to Muir Woods, whether you just want to take advantage of our shuttle to Muir Woods from Sausalito or go on a proper tour and bike across the Golden Gate Bridge. Once you have your transportation covered, don’t forget to check out our Muir Woods guides to learn more about the Muir Woods National Monument.
