2018 年初頭から、国立公園局はミューア ウッズ国定公園に駐車場とシャトルの予約システムを導入しました。訪問者の体験を向上させ、公園資源を確実に保護するために、すべての車両とシャトルの乗客は予約が必要です。訪問者には慎重に計画を立て、早めに計画を立てることをお勧めします。新しいシステムの詳細については、 GoMuirWoods.comをご覧ください。

Yes. In order to enhance the visitor experience and ensure the protection of park resources, the National Park Service has instituted a parking and shuttle reservation system at Muir Woods National Monument. Reservations are required for all vehicles and shuttle riders. We advise visitors to plan carefully and plan early. For more information about the reservation system, visit GoMuirWoods.com.

MAKE A RESERVATION

If a tree falls in the woods, you'll certainly hear it. But cell phones? Not so much. Service at Muir Woods is incredibly limited; not just within the protected grounds, but along much of the winding roads that precede it, as well. Trying to make a reservation while you're already on the road is not recommended. And if you were hoping to go live on your hike...well, sometimes it's better to just enjoy the moment.

Muir Woods is your best, most convenient option for seeing towering California redwoods in their natural, undisturbed splendor. Small groves of redwoods can be found within San Francisco city limits in the Presidio and at the base of the iconic Transamerica Pyramid near Jackson Square. 

You can also find redwoods in nearby Oakland at Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park. If you're looking to go much further afield, Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve north of the city in Sonoma County offers breathtaking nature experiences for seasoned hikers.
