Be A Junior Ranger

Welcome to the Golden Gate National Parks. Here at Golden Gate, we have four opportunities for you to participate in the Junior Ranger Program. There are three locations, at Muir Woods National Monument, in the Marin Headlands, and on Alcatraz Island. There is also a Beach Buddies Jr. Ranger book that can be filled in at any beach in the park. Feel free to download and print a copy of your Jr. Ranger booklet prior to your visit or pick one up at a visitor center. Enjoy!
