Muir Woods National Monument - Things To Do (U.S. National Park Service)

Muir Beach Volunteer Beach Clean-up Program will be held every second Saturday of the month (4/14, 5/9, 6/13, 7/11, 8/8) from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Meet at the south end of the Muir Beach parking lot by the boardwalk. For more information, please contact Denise Shea, Volunteer Manager by email at dshea@parksconservancy.org or by phone at (415) 561-3013.

Muir Woods contains 6 miles of trails. There is a 1/2 hour loop, a 1 hour loop, and a 1 1/2 hour loop as well as longer hikes on trails that extend into surrounding parks. All of these walks afford views of thousands of old-growth coast redwoods, the tallest living things in the world. Picnicking, pets, bicycles, smoking, horseback riding and camping are not permitted within the park.

Please note: Hillside Trail is closed for the winter for trail maintenance. Access to the Ben Johnson Trail is at the Fourth Bridge. For a one hour hike we recommend taking the Camp Eastwood Trail to the Bootjack Spur, descending to Redwood Creek and returning via the Main Trail. Trail maps are available at the Entrance Station.
