The Beckwourth Peak Trail is a 13-mile lollipop loop beginning in downtown Portola, California. 

The trail climbs straight out of downtown on a consistent grade. The original design called for a target trail grade of not more than 10%, with a maximum of 15% for short pitches. This bike-friendly ascent takes riders from a low point of 4,885 feet to a high point of 6,425 feet, for a net elevation gain of 1,540 feet.

Beckwourth Peak earns a solid blue (intermediate) difficulty rating. The builders worked to keep the trail within that difficulty band for the entire ride. 

Beckwourth Peak is a volcanic formation, and so it stands on its own, towering above the town of Portola. From the upper reaches of the mountain, riders will enjoy spectacular views of the valley below and the rugged Sierras in the distance.

The location is accessible from City Park at Third Avenue and South Gulling Avenue.
