For an easy hike, try the 1 mi (1.5 km) Main Trail Loop, which run alongside Redwood Creek to 1,000-year-old trees at Cathedral Grove. It then swings back via Bohemian Grove, where the park’s tallest tree stands at 254 feet (77 meters). The more adventurous should take the 2 mi (3.2 km) hike up to the top of Cardiac Hill, which treks through a steep grade of lush fir-fringed forest to an exposed ridge where you can see Mt. Tamalpais, the Pacific Ocean, and San Francisco.
You can also walk down into Muir Woods via trails from Panoramic Highway or from Mt. Tam’s Pantoll Station campground. Whichever trail you choose, an encounter with these tall trees will be a memorable reward.

Doing what: Alcatraz Tour plus Muir Woods, Giant Redwoods and Sausalito Day Trip
Alcatraz was a realistic experience if I ever had one. Real convicts and workers giving you the tour through a headset. You walk through each section and experience what it was like so many years ago. Muir woods was awesome! The trees are magnificent. Nature is just beautiful. And Sausalito, gorgeous!!! It was a beautiful town near the water, great shops and restaurants. I also loved it because it had my name on a keychain. I will definitely be paying it another visit.

Alcatraz in the morning - great history lesson - well organized tour. Excellent tour.
In the afternoon it was Muir woods and Sausalito, peace and quiet of the woods to the charm of the Sausalito. Overall a magic day - an essential tour when in San Francisco.
