CLIMB SUMMARY

Cycling Eureka Canyon, Santa Cruz Mountains - photo collage: front facade of Corralitos Market & Sausage Co., Spanish style brown building, old weathered brown wood barn with bike leaning against front door, bike resting along fern-covered hillside wall along two-lane road surrounded by redwood trees, bike leaning against wooden railing of wood bridge over creek bed in forest, bike on top of hillside covered in pine trees, fog rolling in across mountainside, PJAMM cycling jersey draped over bike

Cycling Eureka Canyon

Ride 8.2 miles gaining 1,572’’ at 3.6% average grade.

In our opinion, Eureka Canyon is the most epic bike climb in the Santa Cruz Mountains.  The climb is very remote, located along a rough single lane road for the last few miles and surrounded by redwood forest much of the climb.  We loved this climb and highly recommend it to anyone cycling in the Santa Cruz area.
