The night tour is a 2-mile round-trip ranger-led walk in Muir Woods National Monument using the Redwood Creek and Hillside trails.

Take a soul-stirring walk beneath the trees, then stop to reflect on your experience—be it with a poem, a sketch, or whatever feels right.

Let your little explorers become nature detectives at China Camp.

This free program for high school students features rotating events along our 600-mile range exploring various realms of conservation.

It’s winter, it’s wet, and it’s cold. Salamanders, slugs, and millipedes are out and about.

This is a great place for an autumn adventure.

Join Save The Bay for a day of programming that brings you closer to the natural beauty of San Francisco Bay.

We’ll start the day with a slow walk along the creek which creates a fresh-water marsh right at the edge of the beach; this is a great place to look for the different animals that take advantage of this habitat.

Owl’s hoo-hoot. Hares hop out from the shadows. Raccoons prowl. Frogs sing to the stars.

Join us on a walk through China Camp’s upland forest to learn about the park’s diverse woodland ecosystem.

 On this hike, we will follow a meandering trail through an oak woodland forest in search of beautiful bloomers such as blue brodiaea, violet ground iris, white toyon blossoms, delicate rein orchids, and more.

Bring your young nature-lover to join a journey of discovery, delving deep into the vibrant world of plants and animals awakening with the season.

Tall grasses may be turning golden as spring winds down, but there are still plenty of wildflowers blooming in the park. 

Are you as excited as we are for our next sunrise hike? Watch the morning sun cast a golden glow over China Camp’s wetlands, then search for wildflower gems with fellow hikers. Naturalist Harold Hirsch will point out some of the springtime beauties, such as irises, suncups, and star lilies. 

Bright yellow buttercups, pale-pink and creamy white milkmaids, orange poppies, deep-blue lupine, garnet-hued warrior’s plume—it’s a veritable color wheel at the park right now, with springtime wildflowers sprinkling our meadows and woods.
