Mandeville Canyon Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Mandeville Canyon Road is a fantastic place for cycling. The climbing is considerable as you weave up and away from the city with increasingly fantastic views. It's tough going up, but well worth it. The descent is exceptionally fun.

Santa Monica Stairs

Highlight • Structure

Park on Adeleide Dr or on Entrada Dr and walk up and down the two sets of stairs as often as you want or as you can. They will bring your heart beat rate close to the maximum depending on your speed. From Adeleide Dr you have a nice overlook including the Pacific Ocean.

Pacific Park, Santa Monica Pier

Highlight • Structure

This section of bike path and trail passes underneath the famous Santa Monica Pier. It can be a little dark and damp, so it's best to slow down through here. If you wish, you can climb the stairs (or take a longer detour by road) up to the famous wooden pier. The Santa Monica Pier is located at the end of Colorado Avenue in Santa Monica, California and marks the end of Route 66. It is a popular destination featuring a variety of attractions including the large solar-powered Ferris wheel, which is brightly lit and visible from afar at night. The pier offers many concession stands, shops, areas for fishing, and scenic views, making it great spot to stop as you ride around Los Angeles and Santa Monica.

Santa Monica City Hall

Highlight • Monument

The City Hall, which was built in 1938 in the "modern" architectural style, has retained much of its original character.
