ベンチュラ郡の峠・トップ6

Starting in Maricopa, the climb on Highway 33 takes you on a long, remote, and demanding journey from the arid Cuyama Valley floor high into the rugged Los Padres National Forest. You'll ascend steadily through starkly beautiful, changing landscapes – from desert scrub and oil fields, through chaparral-covered slopes, eventually reaching cooler pine forests near the 5,100ft Pine Mountain Summit – this climb is approximately 19-20 miles, gaining a substantial 4,500ft. Be prepared for a relentless grind; the average is around 4.5% with potential ramps over 10%.

This climb begins just north of Ojai, California, and takes you through the beautiful landscapes of Ventura County as you ascend along Highway 33. For the first 27 miles, you’ll ride through the San Emigdio Mountains, part of the Pacific Coast Range, before entering the vast Los Padres National Forest, a 1.9 million-acre expanse that offers stunning vistas of rugged terrain and lush forest. After reaching the narrow, remote paved road for the final six miles, you’ll be rewarded with serene, isolated surroundings, though the lack of services on this stretch makes it essential to be fully prepared for the challenging ride ahead.Bring extra water.

The Santa Susana Pass Road makes the connection between the Simi Hills and the Santa Susana mountains. When riding here, you're surrounded by sandstone formations and massive boulders. Epic!
