Cycling

Wide forest road that's bikeable for all bikes, particularly easy going downhill, leading down with a moderate slope along Purisima Creek to Higgins Rd which is paved and connects onward to the coastal trails along Half Moon Bay.

This trail offers everything, from stunning views to towering redwoods, fern-filled canyons, and creeks. Riding through the redwoods is a unique experience.
