Devil's Slide North Trailhead & bridge view

The precarious always sliding former coastal road is now a beautiful bike trail, while the main Highway 1 is now going through the tunnel

Devil's Slide Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The steepest section of the former road that used to be destroyed regularly by landslides. Now a great bike trail with coastal views and no cars.

Southern Devil's Slide Trailhead gate and overlook

Highlight • Trail

At the southern opening of the 2013 Tom Lantos tunnels the old road is now a bike trail.

Tip by

60.3 km

Protected sandy beach in a cove framed on both sides by Mori Point and Arami Point. The beachfront trail is worth a short loop off the main Pacific Bike Trail which follows the road. Note the sandy section between the parking area and the waterfront trail that can be tricky with skinny tires.
