サンラファエル山脈のおすすめランニングルート

The Camuesa Connector Trail is a fantastic route from Big Pine/Buckhorn Road to Paradise Road along the Santa Ynez River and is a great ride the entire way. After a short descent, the trail levels off before climbing with several switchbacks. While all turns are rideable, it may be best to walk a few, even by intermediate riders. The real fun begins on the descent toward the river, with smooth sections, tight turns, and rocky areas where you’ll reach the riverbed after an exposed rocky section. This crossing varies, but is usually shallow.

Small waterfall with a good-sized plunge pool for swimming, along Matilija Creek.

This trail passes by Matilija Creek and then goes close to Santa Ynes River. There's an oak forest along part of the trail, and you can see Murietta Canyon. Wildlife all around, be aware of snakes and poison oak.

This is a beautiful running trail along the shores of Lake Cachuma. There's an abundance of wildflowers in the spring months and a few little trails off the route that take you right down to the water. The trail itself is compact dirt, but there are a few rocky parts so wear sensible shoes.

This lovely park is filled with large oak trees and a network of trails. It's in close reach to the centre of town, so easily accessible. You'll find grassy shaded areas perfect for additional exercise, along with picnic benches providing comfortable resting spots.

The Dan Henry Bike Route connects Solvang with Los Olivos. It starts on Alamo Pintado Rd at the Eastern end of the "historic" Solvang downtown. After 2/3 you make a couple of quick turns (just follow the signs for the Dan Henry Bike Route) into Grand Ave which leads you into down town Los Olivos. In case you wondered, Dan Henry is "a bicycling legend and inventor of directional pavement markings commonly used to guide participants along the route of organized bicycling events. The markers themselves are usually called 'Dan Henrys'". The Dan Henry Bike Route is part of the Solvang Century. It connects the Lompoc-to-Solvang leg via Santa Rosa Rd and Hwy 246 on the one side and Foxen Canyon Rd on the other. Alternatively you can take Figueroa Mountain Rd for a nice climb. The road is the continuation of Grand Ave beyond Hwy 154. http://cyclingcalifornia.me.ht/CyclingCalifornia/Solvang/DanHenryBikeRoute/Desc.html
