Trail Description:
Go along Purisima for about 1 mile, at that point there should be a trail called Borden Hatch.
-At the junction with Grabtown Gulch take a left, enjoy the waterbars and tight turns.
-The trail loops around and ends back on Purisima, take a left and head home.
If you wish go back to the bridge and do the Whittemore Gulch loop.
How to get there:
Get to Hwy 92 turn onto HWY 1, then take another left onto Higgins-Purisima Creek Rd. Keep going straight though the fork and go about 2 more miles to the parking lot, on your right.
Additional Notes:
Helmets required

this is def. not in san francisco its actually in san mateo county and also there are way more trails than this one all close by in that area. if you dont like going up hill like me and my friend you have someone drop you off at the top which is located on skyline(35) which is at the summit of 92 they can then drive down and meet you at the bottom located on higgins purissima rd. accesed by hwy. 1 just south of Half Moon Bay

Mugg... you have been in the bay area for 30 years and you don't know where hwy 1 is? South on hwy 1 would be helpful, but hey lighten up.

have only done this loop once. it's not technical, but it is beautiful. and steep in some places. better purisima route is whittemore gulch (either in and out or WG/Hawkins fire road.) really now. Hawkins is doubletrack, but get real. riding up that is just sick at sprint pace. riding down is simply boring. Stick to the singletrack Whittemore for the descent. (Nice climb, too; but Hawkins isn't bad if you have the Unsane playing thru your iPod.)

Whoa there! Ive lived in the San Francisco Bay area for 30 years and been mt. biking for about 10, but ive got no idea where tthis is supposed to be... A city or county name would be nice! Lets see, "92" was mentioned... that goes from Hayward all the way to san mateo and the coast... maybe its under that big bridge out in the bay... "water bars" were mentioned!!

Grabtown Gulch is closed for the foreseeable future due to a bridge washout. Go straight up Borden Hatch to pavement and you can work your way to El Corte De Madera park (3 miles of pavement) where there is a ton of singletrack... consult a local map for directions.
