Each map includes:
Two featured rides with written descriptions, elevation profiles and on-map directional arrows.
Ski-map style symbols rating each trail’s level of difficulty.
USGS-based shaded relief topography with color-coded ground cover.
Inspiring color photography.
The Santa Cruz Mountains Map-pack includes five great maps of the five best riding areas between San Francisco and Santa Cruz with featured rides suitable to riders of all levels. These include El Corte de Madera/Purisima Creek, Russian Ridge/Monte Bello Open Spaces, Long Ridge/Saratoga Gap, Wilder Ranch and Soquel Demonstration Forest/Nisene Marks.
Customer Review: Don’t buy it for the beautiful maps
I’m not sure where the other poster is saying is illegal trail…Maybe he should have said?
The chosen routes are good and cover basic to advanced (although much more intermediate/advanced aerobic/technical, as that’s what Santa Cruz has to offer).
The maps themselves suck. Looks like GPS waypoints over blurry pictures of another map with poorly rendered red and blue squiggles.
If you are looking for step-by-step recommended rides, head this way. If you think you’ll get lost, bring another map.
Customer Review: BIKERS BEWARE
Some bike trails in the Santa Cruz mntns that are touted are ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. The sheriff WILL BE CALLED. Your transportation vehicle WILL BE TOWED/CITED. You will be subject to TRESPASS LAW. Don’t ruin your weekend
