Since the Tom Lantos Tunnels opened in 2013, circumventing the treacherous Devil’s Slide portion of Highway 1 between Pacifica and Montara, the former roadway has been open for public access. The 1.3-mile multiuse trail — part of the California Coastal Trail — offers hikers, runners, bicyclists and equestrians jaw-dropping views of the coast, with rest stops along the way outfitted with observation scopes and informational signage.

There is limited parking available at both trailheads.
