Muir Woods marks the southern front in a battle for survival between two competing owl species. On this strenuous 3-mile dusk hike we will look and listen for the owls that call Muir Woods home. Learn more about their history and ecology and receive the latest research updates on our most famous resident, the Northern Spotted Owl. Find out how the Barred Owl emerged as a potent new threat in our own back yard. While owl encounters are not guaranteed, the unique night-time splendor of sauntering along Redwood Creek is assured to leave some lasting memories!
