How can I get from Sausalito to Muir Woods on Friday?

I mean really, it's only eight miles. Here's our plan:

Take a ferry from our hotel in SF to Sausalito on Friday, June 12. It can be any time on Friday, I don't really care.
Get from Sausalito to Muir Woods. This is the problem.
Go back.

Our problem is that the shuttle (66F) that normally serves this starts June 22. This will not work.

We could take normal public transportation, but Google says that's a 1 h 42 min bus ride, with a terrible looking route:

We're both in good shape, and can walk several miles if need be.
We're not dead set on going to the actual visitors' center - is there a closer spot that still has trees and paths and such?
I really don't like walking in places of questionable safety. But I'll do it if I have to.

So how can I get from Sausalito to Muir Woods on Fri June 12?

Best Answer

Rome2Rio suggests various options including public transport, taking a taxi, and driving. All in all the hassle-free option would be the taxi. Rome2Rio quotes approximately 30USD for the journey. It's a bit steep, but you're talking about ~13km. If not you can always rent a car and travel at your own schedule. I doubt that will be cheaper than 60USD though (2 times the cab fare for a return journey).
