Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park

Highlight • Natural

Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park includes over 4,500 acres of untouched wilderness and natural areas. A lot of the "roads" in the park are smooth double-track paths, and there is a fair bit of singletrack as well. This is a great place to bring the gravel bike if you're comfortable on a number of surfaces.

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

There are plenty of rest areas on the way for you. Starting shoreside, the trail goes gradually uphill, but it will be a fun trip on the way back.
