Ride Summary:
Del Cerro has something for everyone and is the closest and most convenient riding area in the South Bay.

Trail Description:
It mainly consists of a main fireroad which leads gradually down to horse ranches and Pacific Coast Highway.

However, for the adventurous, there are fun semi-challenging singletrack available. The typical loop follows the fireroad from the gate for about 100 yards to a quick warmup singletrack to the right which runs along the fireroad. From there, you take a short climb to the left of the water tower then down to a good swtich back trail off to the right. There are a few other options which branch off of these trails, but they all lead back to the main fireroad.

How to get there:
From the 405 freeway, exit Crenshaw Blvd then make right heading south. Take Crenshaw Blvd south all the way to the end in Palos Verdes and park either in the cul-de-sac or to the right at Del Cerro.
