Encinal Canyon Ride

This is a red-level ride that includes some spectacular views along PCH and a nice climb through the Santa Monica Mountains. Encinal Canyon is one of the easiest rides through the mountains, but that isn't to say it is an easy climb. The total elevation gain on this ride is 3170 feet. Some say this 50-miler feels almost like a century. For a more challenging climb, try the PCH/Mulholland or Yerba Buena rides which include quite a bit more climbing.

This ride starts at the Bank of America parking lot.
