The primal redwood forest that is Muir Woods is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the Bay Area. Generally mobbed with visitors, the park instated a reservation system a few years back to decrease crowds and better preserve the land.

The hike up to Dawn Falls from the trailhead is only 1.1 miles; however, you may not find parking (there are only six spaces).
