Here is where you can request assistive listening devices for our Ranger Led Tours and Mp3 players containing an audio description of the Muir Woods Brochure and waysides along the Main Trail. The Visitors Center also provides a copy of the Muir Woods Brochure in Braille along with a Braille Trail Map. After stopping at the Visitors Center, follow the raised accessible boardwalk. This boardwalk is part of the Muir Woods Main Trail. If you follow the raised boardwalk to the right it will lead to an accessible gift shop, café and restroom facility. Signage is provided. If you choose to continue into the Redwood Forest, the accessible boardwalk will continue for several hundred feet to the Pinchot Tree Area. There are several informational waysides along the boardwalk. If you proceed past the boardwalk you will encounter an asphalt trail which is usable; however, it contains potholes and severe cracks due to heaving tree roots. As funding and resources allow, we will continue to replace the existing asphalt with an accessible raised boardwalk. DepartureAs you exit the forest, please return any assistive listening devices and iPods to the Visitors Center. We hope that you have enjoyed your experience at Muir Woods National Monument.
