Muir woods is great! went there last 4th of July. Great trails. A good physical hike is to take Oceanview trail up to Panoramic trail for some great views (unless it's cloudy). Then head back down Lost trail to the main boardwalk trail. Nice elevation change on the hike - you move from Redwood forest then above the canopy to scrub grasses and more arid plants. It is a good hour - 2 hour hike. Make sure to watch for banana slugs! take a fleece with you to - you may need it.
We also went to a wedding in a state park in the mountains above Berkley - it was gorgeous. The drive went over the bay bridge, and then there were some fantastic vistas looking back toward Oakland San Fransisco as you drive into the hills. Peter would definitley know that park and if it is worthwhile for hiking (great spot for a wedding however!)
