Muir Beach Clean-Ups

Walk among old growth coast redwoods, cooling their roots in the fresh water of Redwood Creek and lifting their crowns to reach the sun and fog. Federally protected as a National Monument since 1908, this primeval forest is both refuge and laboratory, revealing our relationship with the living landscape. What will you discover in Muir Woods?

$15 per person 16 years of age and older. Entrance fees may be purchased in advance with your parking/shuttle reservation or upon arrival to the park. Parking/shuttle reservations are required for all vehicles and shuttle riders visiting Muir Woods National Monument. Reservation fees are separate from entrance fees.
