Just north of the metropolitan city of San Francisco is an enchanted place with grounded sentinels who have been alive for at least 400 years. They rise majestically and soar to heights of over 250 feet. For visitors who want to spend time with the oldest trees in the world, a trip to Muir Woods to see the San Francisco redwoods is in order. What’s great is that Muir Woods is not that far from San Francisco, but it feels like a world away when standing underneath the dramatic canopies of the redwoods.
Visiting the redwoods on a Muir Woods tour is a personal experience and every traveler has different expectations and requirements. Gray Line Tours understands that and so they have created a few impressive options for those who want to visit Muir Woods and go on a Muir Woods hike on their terms.
