Muir Woods canyon is a place to walk and enjoy the forest. The primary trails along the canyon floor are level and paved. Bridges along Redwood Creek create leisurely 1/2 hour, 1 hour, or 1 1/2 hour loops. All of these walks take you on a journey beneath 1000 year old old-growth coast redwood trees.
Muir Woods is visited by over 1 million people each year. Visitation is highest in summer months, so park staff recommend visiting Muir Woods from 8am-10pm or from 5pm to close.
The redwood forest is usually cool. Jackets, layered clothing, and walking shoes are advised.
Picnicking is not allowed in Muir Woods, but there are picnic facilities nearby at Muir Beach and Muir Beach Overlook.
All pets, including dogs, are prohibited in Muir Woods and Mt. Tamalpais State Park. Guide dogs and working dogs are allowed in Muir Woods.
