The Leo Carillo State Park loop offers a challenging road cycling experience, blending stunning coastal views with the rugged beauty of the Santa Monica Mountains. You'll ride along the Pacific Coast Highway, taking in ocean vistas and passing landmarks like Point Mugu Rock, before heading inland to tackle chaparral-covered hills and sycamore groves. The diverse terrain and significant elevation changes make this a rewarding ride for experienced cyclists.
This difficult 57.9-mile (93.3 km) route involves 3459 feet (1054 metres) of elevation gain and typically takes around 4 hours and 24 minutes to complete. The park is located along the Pacific Coast Highway, offering convenient access, though some routes in the area may include unpaved sections. Consider starting early to make the most of the day and avoid peak traffic.
Beyond the cycling, Leo Carillo State Park is known for its diverse ecosystems, encompassing 1.5 miles of coastline with beaches and offshore reefs, alongside inland areas. The park also features a unique "Hike & Bike Campground," providing a primitive camping experience for those arriving without a car, close to both beaches and hiking trails.
