Description
Start at the beginning of Muir Woods Road, where it intersects with Shoreline Highway. The trail is east of the road. The trail will wind slowly through the woods. Before long, you'll approach Redwood Creek though you may not be aware of it given the thick undergrowth. Soon you'll cross over Redwood Creek and Muir Woods Road will be apparent on your right. Stay right at the short connector to the road and once again cross over Redwood Creek on a wooden bridge. At the next intersection, stay left along the river. As you approach the end of the trail you'll cross Redwood Creek once again. The trail will emerge onto Muir Woods Road and end.
