Figueroa Mountain via Happy Canyon

Cycling Route

Details
45.69 mi
5,175 ft
For cyclists looking for a challenging climb, Figueroa Mountain is a great option. It's a steep and winding road that takes you up to the top of Figueroa Mountain, offering breathtaking views of the valley. The climb is approximately 10 miles long with a significant elevation gain. There is a short section of dirt road about midway up the climb that can usually be ridden on a road bike, unless there are unusually wet conditions. Be CAREFUL at the water crossings! They can be slick with moss and algae. There is no place to refill your water on the mountain, so carry all of your food and water. This route can be ridden in the opposite direction as well; there are steeper pitches in the clockwise direction.
