The highly anticipated Devil’s Slide Trail along California’s Rt. 1 is now open!
After a year of restoration and two million dollars, visitors to the Half Moon Bay Coastside will now be able to enjoy the Devil’s Slide Trail located just 20 minutes south of San Francisco between the city of Pacifica and Montara, this spectacular 1.3 mile area of Rt. 1 stretches along the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Overlooks
Hikers, cyclists, equestrians and nature lovers will enjoy three overlook sites on the Devil’s Slide Trail, complete with benches and observation scopes allowing visitors to explore some of California’s most dramatic coastline. Ideal for observing a wide range of marine life, the area is home to harbor seals, bottlenose dolphins, sea lions, northern elephant seals and humpback, grey and killer whales.
Visitors will also see interpretive panels detailing the history, geology and animal and plant features of the area. Dogs are permitted on a six-foot leash. Informational kiosks and pet stations are located at the north and south trailheads.
The Devils Slide Trail is a segment of the California Coast Trail, which will eventually allow visitors to explore 11 miles of the California coast, from Mori Point in Pacifica to Pillar Point north of Half Moon Bay.
