  We had a wonderful time walking among the redwoods. For how many cars were traveling on the Panoramic Highway, we were pleasantly surprised at how few people were hiking once we got a little bit away from the parking lot. We went on a hike recommended by the ranger on duty at the Pantoll Station. He sent us off on a hike that he said was about 3 miles. We think it was more like 4 miles based on our apps etc., but nevertheless it was great. The first half was almost entirely downhill, and the return portion of the loop was all up a pretty steep grade. It was more than we bargained for but we made it!!

  Beautiful park with moderate to challenging hikes. Come early you’ll find plenty of parking $8 cash. Nice bathrooms. Great views and a ton of trails to take. We hiked down to Muir Woods And came back up, mostly shaded. There is camping sites too.
