Late on the afternoon of the winter solstice, the trails are lit by luminarias, and hikers are invited to stroll along candlelit paths <img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.weekendsherpa.com\/images\/newsletter\/2007-12-13\/photo2.jpg\" alt=\"Muir Woods Winter Solstice\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" height=\"162\" width=\"214\">through some of the oldest and tallest trees on the planet. This annual winter-solstice event is a family-friendly celebration of one of the Bay Area&#8217;s most beloved parks. The occasion includes stage performances, story telling, and bonfires, as well as a special &#8220;Solstice Menu&#8221; that typically features hot apple cider and other bone-warming beverages. Bring your favorite mug, winter jacket, and blanket, and savor some solstice enchantment. <\/p>\n<p>     The celebration is Dec. 21 from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Parking is limited, so it&#8217;s wise to arrive early and carpool. No dogs. Bring a flashlight.
