Peace Trail is a short, out-and-back mountain biking route in California, about 1.2 miles from the town of Santa Venetia. The climb is steep, with a 199-foot gain from a low point of 430 feet to a high of 662 feet over a 0.44-mile round trip. The trail is rated hard, so plan on a short but challenging ride. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in San Rafael show May highs around 72°F and October highs around 75°F, with only a few wet days in each. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the climb run cooler. The trail starts close to the Bay View Trail and Bay View Trail Bridge 51, both about 0.1 mile away, and the 7-Eleven is just as close. For a change of pace, the Corkscrew Trail is about 0.4 mile away.
