Land OwnerMidpeninsula Regional Open Space District
A combination of old skid roads and new trails with quite different character. Re-routed in 2019.
The (new) uppermost section was opened in 2014 as part of the first phase of the Oljon reroute. It has reasonable grade and several switchbacks.
The middle section has a combination of narrow trails and old roads, with some reasonable grades and an extremely steep pitch or two.
Both these sections are good in both directions.
The lowest section (below Gordon Mill) is a steep old road, only ridden downhill.
Note: The (old) uppermost eastern section connecting to Skyline Blvd was completely decommissioned in 2019 and is no longer visible on this map, but it was a very steep rutted road only ridden downhill.
