Tips

This long climb starts pretty easy, then gets more challenging. The last 1.5 miles are taxing on the legs. On the other hand, riding down is exhilarating; you have the road for yourself since cars either dare go fast or can't handle the turns as bikes do. If you leave in the South Bay, CA-9 is something you want to experience.

The grade of the climb is very steady overall. After gradually ramping up over the first 2.5 miles of the climb, the grade settles at a very even 6.5% for a while. Over the last third of the climb, it inches up slightly to 7%. But, you're much more likely to notice the local fluctuations of the grade around some of the tighter curves, than you are to feel this miniscule change in the average.

Great climb to access either Skyline or the amazing descent through the Giant Redwoods into Big Basin.
