Muir Woods National Monument is a National Register of Historic Places-listed region within Northern California's Golden Gate National Recreation Area, just north of the city of San Francisco. The monument, which was declared in 1908, is known for its lovely old-growth redwood trees, which can be explored via hiking trails at sites such as Bohemian and Cathedral Groves. Hiking trails vary in length and difficulty, including the Ben Johnson and Dipsea Trails, which offer lovely hillside views of the nearby Pacific Ocean coastline and Mount Tamalpais.
Tour buses and shuttles travel to the park from nearby areas such as Marin City, Sausalito, and Mill Valley throughout the week, operated by the National Park Service. Special events hosted at the monument throughout the year include the annual Dipsea Race, which travels through the park on its way between Stinson Beach and Mill Valley.
