Hike through the redwoods: Muir Woods is free this weekend!

In honor of Veteran's Day, admission to California's Muir Woods National Monument is free on November 11 and 12.

Could there be a better way to spend this weekend than hiking through one of the Bay Area's most magnificent stands of redwoods?

Parking can be a challenge so go early or take the shuttle from Mill Valley.

Tip: Stay at the Best Western Plus Corte Madera Inn with a gorgeous swimming pool. It's a short drive from the redwoods.
