Muir Woods Tours

Explore Muir Woods National Monument at night with a special ranger-led tour! Established in 1908, this 550-acre National Monument protects an old growth forest of coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens), the tallest type of tree in the world. With nearly 2 miles of flat, firm-surfaced trails in the heart of the forest, Muir Woods is one of the most accessible coast redwood forests in the country and is less than a 1-hour drive from San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge. These 2-hour tours start around twilight in front of the Muir Woods Visitor Center where a park ranger will orient you to the forest’s history and ecology before taking you on a guided walk along the Redwood Creek and Hillside Trails. As you pass through landmarks like Founders Grove and Cathedral Grove, the interactive ranger program invites you to open up your senses to the natural environment and reflect on our connections to the forest and to each other. Tours are limited to 30 people per tour and scheduled at least two weeks in advance based on ranger availability. Portions of the tour may not be ADA accessible. Please let us know of any reasonable accommodation you may need in advance of your tour date.
