Cross the magnificent Golden Gate Bridge into fabled Marin County, with its astonishingly varied land and seascapes. Driving along the slopes of Mount Tamalpais, deluxe mini-coach will thread their way down the winding mountain road to Muir Woods National Monument.

One of the first parks ever set aside for the coastal redwoods, this national park was named for the renowned conservationist, John Muir. The sequoias located here have a biological ancestry dating back well over a million years. Fossils of virtually identical trees appear in the record from some 160 to 170 million years ago, the Jurassic Age of dinosaurs. These fossils are found across the Northern Hemisphere, in Manchuria, France, Alaska, Greenland and even on Arctic islands. Redwoods have no aging mechanisms, are extremely resistant to disease and have few natural enemies; thus, individual redwoods can live to be thousands of years old. You will have time to wander among these ancient trees and come away with a sense of the immense grandeur and spans of time encompassed by this noble forest.

You will visit sparkling Sausalito, a Riviera‑like bayside village with its winding wooded streets, eclectic houseboats, unique boutiques and art galleries. There will be ample time to explore the shops and galleries, or simply stroll along the waterfront and view the San Francisco skyline and Bay.
