A National Park Service monument protecting old-growth coast redwoods in Marin County, north of the Golden Gate.
Muir Woods National Monument is a National Park Service unit in Marin County, California, north of San Francisco across the Golden Gate. The Park Service's planning page, read on 3 October 2026, describes its old-growth coast redwoods as the tallest living things in the world, says parking reservations are required ahead of time, and says the visitor centre and ranger orientation stations provide orientation and trip-planning advice. Entrance fees apply; see the Park Service fees page for current details before you go.
