Trail Overview

Flowy dirt road that climbs through grassy oak woodlands before entering the redwood forests of the California Coast. Quiet road with minimal obstacles. Currently, there is a bridge on the route that is closed to cars (see photos). Nothing larger than a BMW Adventure bike is going to be able to pass through. Enjoy the beautiful vistas. There are some spots that get pretty slippery after rain due to slick mud, so just keep an eye out.
