Sycamore Canyon and Overlook Trail Loop

17.7km

01:43

360m

The Sycamore Canyon and Overlook Trail Loop offers a dynamic mountain biking experience, blending easy fire roads with technical singletrack. You'll pedal through lush riparian woodlands before tackling challenging climbs on the Overlook Trail, which rewards your effort with expansive views of the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Monica Mountains. This moderate 11.0-mile (17.7 km) route, with its 1176 feet (358 metres) of elevation gain, typically takes about 1 hour and 43 minutes, making it a great option for riders seeking varied terrain and scenic payoffs.

Accessing the trail is straightforward, with multiple entry points from the Pacific Coast Highway and Sycamore Canyon Campground, where parking is usually available. If you plan to ride in winter, be prepared for potential stream crossings, which tend to dry up by late spring. During summer, the area can get quite hot, so consider an early start and bring ample water to stay hydrated.

This popular loop within Point Mugu State Park is known for its continuously evolving scenery and diverse Sycamore Canyon mountain biking terrain. The Guadalasca Trail stands out as a premier singletrack section, while the Overlook Fire Road Trail provides excellent connections to other routes like the Backbone Trail. Sycamore Canyon Campground also offers the unique opportunity for beachside camping right next to these fantastic trails.
