Mountain Biking

Whether on a road bike or a mountain bike, cycling Big Sur is a demanding endeavor. Highway 1 is the stuff legends are made of; expert road riders seek the thrill of its heart-pounding hills, sharp curves and unparalleled views. For a mountain biking challenge, try the 10-20% grades of Rocky Ridge Trail in Garrapata State Park, or a more moderate ride on Old Coast Road between Bixby Bridge and Andrew Molera State Park. Mountain biking is also allowed in the following places:
- Pfeiffer Ridge Trail in Andrew Molera State Park
- Cone Peak Road between Nacimiento Summit and Cone Peak
- Lake San Antonio
