Pringle Grove

Highlight • Forest

Pringle Grove is a small-forested area that has Soquel San Jose Road passing through. Although the route follows a busy road, you'll also pass through a lush green area, which happens to be the cemetery. For a more enjoyable ride, it's recommended to avoid rush hour, as the road can get quite busy with cars.
