A walk amongst the redwoods

Peter_C, Sep 2025
We have been in the Bay area many, many times but this was our first hike in Mill Valley. We are from New York. This walk was better than just going to Muir Woods. Ben was an excellent guide and had many personal stories about the place. It was not a strenuous hike, more like a walk.

Our guide Ben was amazing...

Our guide Ben was an amazing tour guide. He knew the history, hikes and ecological system of Muir Woods as if he had lived there! We hiked 4.5 miles, with plenty of stops and Ben will adjust time, length and level of hike to meet your needs. I would strongly suggest this tour. It is a highlight for anyone visiting the San Francisco area.
