Devil's Slide, Pacifica
About
This trail, a former segment of Highway 1, is an easy 1.3-mile out-and-back walk along a paved road that's accessible for all. The first segment takes you through a canyon rich in coastal plants, songbirds, and woodpeckers. As you turn the corner heading south, you join the cliffside path that is made of granite and sandstone layers that have been twisted by time and fault activity. On a clear day, the ocean view is spectacular, and many shorebirds can be seen in the water as well as on Egg Rock. There are bathrooms at the start of the trail and several benches. Directions: Devils Slide Trail Northern Overlook - Parking on the right just north of the entrance to the Lantos Tunnel.
