Old Page Mill Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This winding side road is very lightly trafficked and carries you between Stanford and the Palo Alto hills with partial shade the entire way. On the east side of the road you will find Frenchman's Tower, and old brick landmark.

Dwight Crowder Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This mostly paved bike trail alongside Alpine Road is great for bike commuting — just don't run over any slower trail users! The trail runs all the way from Portola Valley to Stanford, offering some nice shade along the way. The brief moments of unpaved trail are near the Portola Valley end.

Portola Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Settlement

The ride takes you through the (very) well-to-do town of Portola Valley, which usually ranks as one of the top 10 in the US in terms of average household income. You may have heard that Portola Valley has a higher population of horses than of people. While that seems to have been true only in much earlier years, this is still a town with a very high rate of horse ownership and, just like in the neighboring Woodside, you shouldn't be surprised if you encounter residents heading to the corner store on horseback.

Rossotti's Alpine Inn

Highlight • Pub

This fantastic tavern, founded in 1852, is the second oldest in the state. It features a large, beer garden-style outdoor area with plenty of shade. An extensive beer and food menu makes it a perfect stop to enjoy a brew and some great food after a ride.
