Mulholland Canyon Climb

This is a red-level ride that includes some spectacular views along PCH and a nice climb through the Santa Monica Mountains. The climb up Mulholland from Leo Carillo State Beach is one of the prettiest climbs. The 1670 foot climb includes three deep switchbacks so you can judge where you are. This one is tougher than Encinal Canyon because you loose all of the altitude you gained on the first hill. In the summer this can be a very hot climb. Want a bigger climb? Try turning at Yerba Buena.

This ride starts at the Bank of America parking lot.
