Need to burn off some calories from a big Christmas dinner?
By Bay City News Service
Although most national parks in the Bay Area will be closed on Christmas Day, Muir Woods National Monument will remain open for those wanting to burn off calories and get some fresh air before or after their holiday feasts.
The redwood forest in Marin County will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday, with the visitor center open during its regular hours, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., according to the National Park Service.
Other Bay Area attractions under the supervision of the park service -- including Alcatraz Island, Muir Beach, Fort Point, the Marin Headlands Visitor Center and the Presidio Visitor Center -- will be closed for Christmas.
More information about the parks' hours of operation over the holidays can be found online at www.nps.gov/goga.
