Fernwood-Piuma from PCH

Cycling Route

Details
29.55 mi
4,364 ft
From PCH climb Topanga Canyon, Fernwood, and Saddle Peak. A nice spot to regroup is at the intersection of Saddle peak, Stunt, and Schueren at the Topanga Lookout as it has a parking lot and views of the valley and of the ocean. Descend Stunt, wind through the aptly named Cold Canyon to then climb Piuma, and descend Rambla Pacifico and Las Flores. Take PCH back to the base to Topanga. This route can be done in reverse but Las Flores is pretty steep.
