Take the Paseo north past Independence Avenue. This leads right to the entrance of Cliff Drive.
ONLY OPEN ON WEEKEND!!! And, is oneway (west to east).
Scenery
Lush trees in the spring and summer, lovely colors in the fall. Its a short road but beautiful and curvy. Beautiful architecture to see along the way. There is a water fall at the end of the drive.
Drive Enjoyment
Watch for plant debris in road. Pavement is excellent and well maintained and the road has lots of curves!
Tourism Opportunities
There are a few places to spot and view the scenery.
The drive is currently closed to vehicles and it looks permanent with large boulders in the road in front of the gates.
It used to be that the eastbound lane of Cliff Drive from The Paseo to Indian Mound was open to vehicles Monday-Wednesday; the westbound lane was a dedicated bike and pedestrian lane every day. The entire drive was closed to vehicular traffic from Thursday-Sunday to allow for walkers, runners, and bikers to use the scenic byway.
