Expanding Bay Area Cycling Access

A Milestone for Regional Recreation

The newly unveiled route spans rugged terrain, showcasing sweeping views of the surrounding landscape and the Pacific coast. Local officials and cycling advocates celebrated the completion of the trail as a major milestone for regional outdoor recreation.

Funding for the extension came from a combination of public grants, local bonds, and non-profit conservation partnerships. Those looking to explore more of the region’s top-tier outdoor spaces can check out various things to do throughout the county.

Balancing Conservation and Exploration

Protecting Wild Habitats

The trail is expected to draw a high volume of mountain bikers and hikers eager to explore previously restricted areas. Strict guidelines have been put in place to ensure trail-users share the path responsibly and protect local wildlife habitats.

Maintenance crews will monitor the corridor closely to prevent erosion and preserve the natural integrity of the wilderness. Ultimately, this addition bridges a vital gap in Northern California’s active transportation and greenway network.
