Muir Woods is celebrating its centennial anniversary on April 21, 2008. The park officials are preparing for the day long event.

The park includes redwoods over 260 feet high; some are more than 1,200 years old and a great place to find solace after a heavy week in the city.

Located 12 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge. You should take Highway 101 to the Highway 1/Stinson Beach Exit. Be careful because roads to the park are steep and winding. 35 feet long vehicles are not allowed in the area because even on regular days, parking space could be a problem. A shuttle bus is available on weekends and holidays from May 3, through the end of September, call 415-455-2000 for more information. There are no RV parking facilities. The park is open from 8 a.m. to sunset, including holidays. Fees $5, 16 years and over, under 15 free.
