RV Vacation Idea: Muir Woods National Monument
California
Thanks to the conservation efforts and influence of John Muir, William and Elizabeth Kent purchased the land now known as Muir Woods in 1905 and donated it to the government in 1908, thus preserving this land of gentle giant trees for generations to come. President Theodore Roosevelt designated this area as a National Monument that same year.
Hiking and nature walks are the order of the day in this amazing place. Be sure to study the forest floor as well as the canopy overhead for the inhabitants of this special ecosystem.
We have RV rental locations in Dublin, CA, Santa Cruz, CA and Milpitas, CA that make the drive to this national monument easy. However, if starting your trip from another location is more convenient, we also have many other rental offices, so please visit our locations map to find a location that may be more suitable.

Terra Pass Carbon Offset Option
We believe in Green RV'ing! El Monte RV offers customers a way to offset the carbon emissions from their motorhome vacation by requesting the carbon offset option. This option is completely voluntary and is a very nominal fee. We encourage you to consider this when booking your trip!
You can request the carbon offset option when you reserve via the call center, or when picking up at the rental counter. It's easy, affordable, and every cent of this nominal fee goes straight to Terra Pass to fund various carbon-offsetting programs.
El Monte RV Cares!
