Cloverdale-Booneville-Hopland Grade, Part 2

MotorcycleRoads.com to MotorcycleRoads.com

From California 128 a half mile east of Boonville, take California 253 to Ukiah and US 101.

The road goes over a ridge of California coastal hills. There are (dirt!) turnouts for stopping to enjoy long views to the east and south.

California is using federal Stimulus money to completely repave the state highways, but parts of this road are older asphalt. There will be patches here and there. But mostly there are long sweeping corners and slow peg-scrapers. There will be scattered traffic. The road is mostly double-yellow no-passing zones. On weekends there might be traffic enforcement.

Good amenities at each end but nothing in between. Hey, it's only 18 miles!
