This is a less steep, much safer, and beautiful path to get up to the top of the Laureles Grade. Views into the Corral de Tierra Valley and out to the Santa Cruz mountains across the bay. There is about 1/2 mile of broken asphalt/gravel at the end of the road linking up to the Laureles Grade - I ride it on my road bike with 28mm tires and just take it easy (never had a puncture or felt unsafe).
