Haul Road then and now. In 1984 the Haul Road experienced serious flooding.
On today’s ride I was reminded of another less enjoyable ride with Jobst Brandt in 1984. It was a cool spring day and we were finishing a long ride by riding up the Haul Road.
The road was muddy and every creek crossing, of which there are a half-dozen, was washed out. We had to clamber down into the creek and back up. This particular washout was the worst, so I had Jobst take my photo.
Today the road is in as good a shape as it has ever been. It goes from Pescadero Road/Wurr Road to Highway 9, but the section beyond Portola State Park belongs to Redtree Properties.

Looks beautiful. Are you allowed to ride on the section that Redtree Properties owns?

No.
