Devil's Slide, Coastal trail in San Mateo County, California, US
The Devil's Slide trail extends 1.3 miles along the Pacific coastline, featuring steep cliffs and natural gradients between 30 and 50 percent.
The area contained a section of California State Route 1 from 1936 until 2013, when recurring landslides led to the construction of bypass tunnels.
The location served as a military observation point during World War II, where personnel monitored maritime traffic in support of San Francisco harbor defense.
The paved pathway accommodates both pedestrians and cyclists, with designated parking areas at the northern and southern access points.
The Mediterranean climate creates narrow temperature ranges and high moisture levels, supporting northern coastal scrub vegetation and the endangered Hickman's potentilla plant.
