Highlights
Outing Highlights
Muir Woods: a cathedral of redwoods
Stroll well‑maintained trails beneath ancient redwoods—some exceeding 250 feet—and savor the hush of the forest, an essential contrast to the coastal panoramas on the rest of the route.
Golden Gate, forts and waterfront towns
The tour threads Crissy Field and the Presidio to the Golden Gate Bridge (you can park and take a stroll on the span), continues through Marin Headlands to Sausalito and includes vistas of Fort Point and Fort Baker.
GPS‑guided EV GoCar with optional detours
Operate your own GPS‑narrated EV Sport GoCar to customize the day—detours include Lombard/Crooked Street and Rodeo Beach (each adds about 15 minutes)—and return via the Presidio and scenic Russian Hill streets.

The trip is a hands‑on loop: you drive a compact EV guided by on‑board GPS narration, passing coastal lookouts, the Golden Gate’s piers and small harbor towns before parking at Muir Woods to walk under towering redwoods, then finishing by threading city streets many tour buses can’t access.
