A beautiful and very accessible redwood forest, but there are a few important things to know before visiting. First: you must reserve a parking spot in advance. We booked ours the day before, so the best time slots were already taken, but it still worked out fine. The parking area fills up quickly. If you don’t come by car, there is also a shuttle service, though from what I’ve read, you need to reserve those tickets as well (we drove ourselves, so I can’t fully confirm this). The entrance fee is $15 per person, unless you have the America the Beautiful annual pass, which covers the cost. The forest itself is very beautiful. Especially if you’ve been to Sequoia National Park before, it’s interesting to see the coastal redwoods — they’re the “sister species” of the giant sequoias. The atmosphere is magical: very green, naturally dim, with a small stream running through the grove. The main area is relatively small. We did the longest loop trail in the main section (about 1–1.5 hours), and while there are longer trails branching off, a few hours are truly enough to explore the core of the park. We visited in winter, which was still lovely, but I imagine the forest looks even more enchanting in spring or summer when everything is fully green. In winter, some deciduous trees are bare, and the overall color is a bit muted. Unfortunately, we also had cloudy and foggy weather — still atmospheric, but not ideal. Overall, it’s a beautiful park and a great half-day trip from San Francisco. Not too far, not too time-consuming, and definitely worth seeing.
🌲A Highly Recommended Outdoor Gem Muir Woods is an adventurous and scenic outdoor spot in Northern California, perfect for exploring with friends and family. ✨ Highlights • Awesome Hiking: Offers numerous trails suitable for all preferences and difficulty levels. • Diverse Nature: Houses a rich diversity of flora and fauna, including some small waterfalls. • Seasonal Beauty: A visit in early November revealed an amazing variety of mushrooms along the trails. • Amenities: Gift shops and restaurants are available near the trailhead and park office. ⚠️ Essential Tip: Parking MUST Be Booked in Advance! You must book a parking spot ahead of time. It is extremely difficult to find parking without a permit, and you may be turned away. Highly recommend this famous spot for any outdoor enthusiast!
A nice walk through the redwoods. Be sure to make your reservation at least a day or two in advance. Nice cafe there where you can get a bite to eat or something to drink. It can be a little crowded towards the front, but as you walk deeper into the woods it gets quieter. Main paths are wide, easy to walk, and wheel chair accessible. More difficult trails are available.
