Sweetness

Sweetness is a short, hard mountain biking route in Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park in California, managed by State Park and Recreation. The ride is an out-and-back of about half a mile, with a high point of 764 feet and a low of 662 feet, so the total climb is about 84 feet one way. It sits within the park's state park land, about a quarter mile from the park's boundaries. The most comfortable months for a ride are late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 80°F with only about four wet days, and October highs near 83°F with similar dry weather. That station sits about 340 feet lower than the route, so temperatures on the trail run a little cooler. Dogs are not allowed on this route. The closest neighbors are the Ox Trail Path and the Garden of Eden climbing area, both about half a mile away, and the River Trail, about 0.7 miles off. Paddlers can reach the San Lorenzo River about 5 miles away.
