It protects 554 acres (224 ha) of which 240 acres (97 ha) are old-growth coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) forests, the tallest living objects on Earth.

It remains cool and moist year-round with daytime temperatures averaging between 40 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit (4 to 21 °C). Millions of years ago ancestors of redwood and sequoia trees grew throughout North America.

Had an amazing tour to Muir Woods and Sausalito with Randy our guide, he was lovely guy and very knowledgeable and the small group really made it feel more intimate! The Redwoods were incredible sight and I felt the 1 hour 15 mins was about right. Heard so much about Sausalito over the years and it was nice to finally see it. Randy pointed out some incredible sights as we headed back to our hotel, he really is a credit to their company. Highly recommended!

The incredible views from both inside and outside the park as well as Sausalito were worth it. That's what you can't get anywhere else.

The Muir Woods are well worth the visit! Our trip got off to a slow start but Ulrich’s pleasant demeanor managed to turn things around and I think the entire van appreciated the outing!

A very nice guide with a lot of knowledge given with humour. Muir woods as interesting as when I saw them last time 45 yers ago. Very interesting with the musical connections to Sausalito: Otis Redding, Cat Stevens and Fleetwood mac. They were not mensioned 45 yeras ago. Time changes and former soul, pop and rock groups are now considered "classical"
