Description

Most runners utilize this trail to complete the shorter loop through the Muir Woods National Monument. This direction is a gradual climb and connects with the Redwood Creek Trail at the end of the valley. Expect a good amount of traffic going in both directions. The trail is well-maintained and easy to run along.

Flora & Fauna

Old growth coastal redwoods are the featured attraction of the park.
