THE RIDE

Santa Cruz Heckler electric assist

The tour uses Santa Cruz Heckler ebikes so riders can choose how much effort to put in; the electric assist makes both exploration and climbs more accessible while preserving the sense of momentum on open trails.

THE LANDSCAPE

Wild grasslands to cliffside trails

The route threads through wind-sculpted grasslands, beneath native trees and along dramatic cliffside trails, offering repeated chances to spot native birds, butterflies and coastal forms carved by the elements.

THE ADD-ONS

Picnic, tide pools and paddleboarding

Customize your half-loop with a gourmet picnic prepared by the Chef, or extend a stop to visit tide pools and add a paddleboarding session for a more varied coastal itinerary.
