Highlights Tracing the San Andreas earthquake fault from just south of San Francisco to near Gilroy, the rugged Santa Cruz Mountains offer challenging but beautiful cycling. A series of several roads, some just a single lane wide, follow the ridge line for the entire distance, offering views over the surrounding hills east towards San Francisco Bay and west towards the Pacific Ocean.
Numerous roads climb from either side of the ridge.
Dense redwood forests, often shrouded in fog, cover most of the western slopes, while warm sunshine, grassy meadows and oaks are common on the east face. For detailed coverage of the excellent mountain biking in this region, see our San Francisco Peninsula and Santa Cruz Mountains Mountain Biking Map.
