March is actually one of the best months to visit Muir Woods National Monument. The winter rains usually make the forest extra green and the redwood trees feel even more dramatic with mist and fog drifting through the canopy. Since it’s still outside the peak summer season, the crowds are often lighter than in June, July, or August. Many visitors take a half day trip from San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge to explore the trails and then stop in Sausalito for lunch along the waterfront. The combination of Muir Woods and Sausalito is one of the most searched day trips from San Francisco.
