Description:
The Mid-Peninsula Regional Open Space District manages a vast network of land holdings in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Bikers owe them (as well as the local trail access group - R.O.M.P.) their gratitude not only for protecting these beautiful areas, but also for treating us as legitimate users. The result is miles of open fire roads and single-track just a short drive from the mania of Silicon Valley.
This map covers the areas abutting Skyline Boulevard from just north of Page Mill Road to Hwy. 9. The area encompasses open grasslands and meadows as well as wooded hillsides and canyons. While there are miles of single-track, none of the trails are technically difficult, making the area ideal for beginners and intermediate riders. |
