Description:
Ocean vistas, rolling grasslands, redwood forests, wildlife and yes, even single-track. Is this heaven? Bay Area riders, used to getting short-changed when it comes to trail access, might just think so. Wilder Ranch offers beginner to strong intermediate riders some of the best riding in the Bay Area.

Once a working ranch dating back to the 1850s, Wilder Ranch is now a state park with land on both the ocean and inland sides of Highway 1. The ocean side features a pancake-flat trail overlooking the Pacific. The inland side features over 30 miles of moderately hilly, moderately technical riding in a drop-dead gorgeous setting.

The Wilder Ridge Loop forms the backbone of the trail system, with numerous loops and spurs shooting off in all directions. The featured rides in this guide are just two of an infinite number of great routes that can be created. Use your imagination...you won't be disappointed.
