This is a must check out place. Basically 4 restaurants under one roof with common seating. Seafood, Mexican, Sushi, Sausage. Good drink options as well. I would Uber there, or parking has been OK the dozen times we have gone.

Sightseeing John Muir Woods

In less than 45 mins you could be surrounded by Redwoods that block the sky and remind us how nature dominated the California Coast. If you go by car, be sure to book a parking spot. https://www.nps.gov/muwo/planyourvisit/index.htm

YOU CAN TAKE THIS PICTURE! Here's how: Bay Bridge or San Rafael Bridge to the Golden Gate Bridge. From San Francisco, driving North, exit at Alexander Ave (first exit), left at the end of the exit toward MARIN HEADLANDS. Don't get back on the bridge, go up the hill (keep right). PARK: You'll come to an area of parked cars on the left. Wait for a spot, and walk toward the Bridge! Get this picture. Continue on this road. Stop at the Gun Mounts and take some pictures there, then head down to the Marine Mammal Institute and perhaps Sausalito for lunch/dinner (through the one way tunnel). From the North (took the San Rafael bridge and drove South). Also exit at Alexander and turn left up the hill. See "PARK" above.
