Any recent visits to Muir Woods?
Has anyone been to Muir Woods recently? We have an option to drive there from San Francisco and park by making an $8 parking reservation. I had read somewhere that parking was hard to come by and better to take a tour bus. I'm assuming the reservation system has made it easier to get a parking spot. It's at least $68/person to book a Muir Woods/Sausalito tour. We have a car available to us from a family member so figured it would be a big savings plus if we decide to cancel due to weather, we won't lose the tour money.

You MUST make advance reservations whether you drive or take the bus. Makes no difference. So do which ever is most convenient to you. The parking will not be 'hard to come by' since only those with reservations are allowed in to the park. They do not 'over reserve' so there will be enough spaces.

To amplify Janis' statement
Parking for private cars is now only by reservation – that is a change this year. So if you reserve a parking spot, you will be guaranteed a spot for the day and time you have chosen. So if you don't go you would only lose the eight dollars.

JamilaZ - just wanted to check if you made it to Muir Woods. Several weeks ago, I got parking tickets for Thursday and Friday. We are just going one day but I wanted some flexibility. Do we have to adhere to the time slots in our tickets very strictly? Traveling with my husband, his Dad, and our almost four-year old. I just want to know how firmly I have to push everyone to make it there at a specific time window. Thanks!
