Muir Beach: Good News, Bad News

In case you didn't read today's I-J story or missed hearing about it during today's Green Gulch Hike, there's both good news and bad news about Muir Beach for we Meanderers.

The bad news: The parking lot at Muir Beach (which is in the GGNRA) will be closed from sometime in mid-to-late June through November, and all restrooms and services provided by the National Park Service will be eliminated.

The good news: We only hike in that area as a group once each Spring, so we've "Been there, Done that" for 2013.

The bad news: If you want to get to the beach or trails out of Muir Beach from next month and into Fall, there won't be anywhere nearby to park. You'll have to hike in from a place like Tennessee Valley.

The good news: When Muir beach reopens after restoration work on Redwood Creek and Big Lagoon, and redesign of the parking lot, there will be as many parking spaces as before and brand-new toilets, and a new picnic area.
