Looking for trail suggestions and orientation? Saw something curious in the forest that you want to ask about? Need a junior ranger book? We are here to help!
Come find Muir Woods rangers where you have questions for them: right at the park's entry/exit. Our station has local information, objects to explore, and a wealth of resources to support you during your visit - so don't hesitate to ask. 
Core hours for the ranger station are 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM, though we are often open longer than that. For information in anticipation of your visit, please visit the link below.

Ranger Station

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. Please visit GoMuirWoods.com for parking/shuttle reservations.
