Amazing stone bridge

Highlight • Bridge

It's really amazing that this stone bridge is still here. I understand it was originally built to easily get pack horses across the creek — and of course the people with them, too.

Tip by

7.61 km

This trail can be ridden in either direction and plays out similarly no matter how you ride it. A short, switchbacky climb is rewarded with a fun twisty descent. If you need a rest after the climb there's a shady place to stop at the top of the hill.

Upper Penitencia Creek

Highlight • River

You can find free parking and restrooms by the side of the creek. From here you have the option of many different hilly but nontechnical trails up to Eagle Rock, Inspiration Point, Boccardo, or along the creek side.

Alum Rock — Upper Penitencia Creek Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Upper Penitencia Creek Trail runs through Alum Rock Park and connects to many of the area's trails. The trail itself is an easy gravel ride for beginners and kids, but many of the adjoining trails are more challenging.
