Visitors to the Bay Area looking for a scenic road trip with less traffic than Big Sur Highway 1 can explore the Skyline Boulevard where they can take in mountain views, and brave narrow, curvy roads just forty minutes outside of San Francisco. There are several places to pull over and view the amazing scenery on the Skyline Boulevard, including the San Mateo Peninsula and the lush riparian forests. Visitors can also enjoy hiking and mountain biking at El Corte de Madera Creek Open Space Preserve near Skeggs Point Turnout or take a break at one of the quaint roadside diners.
