This breathtaking old-growth coastal redwood forest is located just 15 miles from San Francisco, at 1 Muir Woods Road, Mill Valley, CA. 94941. The trees' canopy filters light softly to the forest floor below, making it a stunning location for beautifully lit wedding, engagement, or elopement photography. You can visit the park solely to take couples pictures, or you can submit an online request to obtain a wedding ceremony permit for events from April to October. Permits are very limited, but we have a workaround if you can't get yours. FAQ's: You must buy your parking pass online before you go-no exceptions. You can purchase your park entry on-site or with your parking pass in advance. Handicapped access, bathrooms, and food are available within the park.
