13 mi, 4 M, 2800 ft; Purisima Creek Park
Let's ride Purisima Creek OSP! We'll start at the southern roadside parking area on Skyline (near Kings Mountain Rd) and ride to the north entrance where the fun begins. Whittmore Gulch is both scenic and fun, taking us from the top of the mountain to the creek at the bottom, one of the most beautiful forest settings you'll find. We'll loop up the Gordon Hatch Mill and down the Grabtown Gulch trails before climbing back up to the starting point along the Purisima Creek Trail (think beautiful redwoods). There are limited facilities at the bottom (no water). No sweep. Start location: Purisima Creek Redwoods Roadside Parking [Route/Map]
