Did you notice our logo features a red hawk? We are partial to
them; they nest in our trees and can be spotted soaring above our decks.

Nights for a Moonlit Hike
Sat. Aug. 26, 2008
Mon. Sept. 15, 2008
Tues. Oct. 14, 2008
Explore the magic of our mountain under a full moon.
On these
nights you can get also a rare opportunity to visit Muir Woods after
nightfall and learn about the secret nightlife of an old growth redwood
forest. The guided 1.5 mile moonlit walk last two hours and begins at
the Muir Woods entrance at 7pm in August, 6:30pm in September and 6pm
in October. Dress appropriately and bring a flashlight.
Meteor Showers
The Perseid meteor showers return
to our skies from mid-July through August. For the peak viewing opportunity - up to 50 meteors per hour - reserve
a room here in mid-August and stay up late.
Quote
of the Season
"We
believe our national parks are at the heart of what makes the Bay
Area a wonderful place to live and visit. The enrich our lives, restore
our spirits, and connect us to the natural world. They are both grand
and fragile, diverse and unique, expansive but not limitless."
Brian O'Neill, Park Superintendent, Golden
Gate National Recreation Area
