    Tips

    June 24, 2016

    One of the World's iconic roads, in 2014 the frequently landslide-damaged Highway 1 received a tunnel to avoid the particularly dangerous cliffs at Devil's Slide south of Pacifica. The original roadbed is now a bike path along the ever precarious Devil's Slide cliffs between Montara and Pacifica.

      See and nice

        Devils slide itself is nice and just to the south is the beautiful Gray Whales Cove beach. There is plenty of parking at both places.

        Two notes for cyclist:
        1. cycling along Hwy 1, coming from Pacifica, requires climbing on a relatively narrow but highly frequented road. It is not a long climb until the turnoff to Devils slide, but it might be stressful for cyclists who are not used to riding in heavy traffic. Hwy 1 south of Devils slide has enough space for everyone.
        2. If you cycle on Hwy1, then check the wind forecast beforehand. Dominant wind direction is NW, which means cycling southbound maximizes tailwind and minimizes breathing in all the air pollution from stinky cars.
