After the short trail which goes back to the Loma Prieta epicenter the trail turns back upon itself and starts a relatively steep incline which climbs at a steady grade for about 2 miles.

While I was at the top of the incline a ran into three daytripers who had ridden their bikes from San Jose. They were planning on spending the night at the beach and riding back to San Jose the next day. They were on hardails with semislick tires. Two of them were using the cool Bob Yak trailers.

The view from the top of the Incline, about 7 miles into the ride.

I turned back at the top of the incline and headed back. While on my way out I stopped at one of the many bridges to take my mandatory bridge photo.

Although this trail is lacking in the technical riding department there is no shortage of sureal beauty.
