This trail is one of the most picturesque in Muir Woods National Monument. It is a quieter path compared to other nearby options, as most visitors choose to walk along the boardwalk trails. The route is a dirt singletrack with plenty of roots; however, it is very well maintained. It's an ideal place to slow down and appreciate the history of the towering, ancient trees.
