The Rose Bowl

The Arroyo Seco, meaning dry creek in Spanish, a sizable watershed flowing out of the San Gabriel Mountains, is where the Rose Bowl is located. The Arroyo Seco has dug canyons into the mountains that are 1,000 feet deep and starts on the Mt. Wilson flanks at 5700'. But in Pasadena, a half-mile-wide and 200-foot-deep gully has been created by decades of erosion.

You'll have plenty of company even though the ride isn't particularly scenic at the Rose Bowl. The Rose Bowl Loop encircles the stadium, its parking lots, and a golf course in a 3-mile round. The loop is used by both joggers and cyclists for fundamental training.

This is one of the Best Bike Trails In L.A. This is an excellent place to get in shape even though it's not as thrilling as some other rides. The loop's gentle incline lets you practice ascending and descending hills. Given that there are plenty other bikes and runners around, the traffic is calm and courteous. Since you're riding a bike, it's polite for you to stay to the left of the painted barriers that separate the sidewalk from the areas designated for runners and walkers. Additionally, restrooms and drinking fountains are located close to the stadium.

There is never a terrible time to bike at the Rose Bowl unless there is a special event. Even at night, there are several people present, and the majority of the roads are well-lit. Make sure your front and back lights are in functioning order if you are riding at night.

Drive as you typically would to the Rose Bowl, and park anywhere. When there isn't a special event, parking is free. If you're riding around the stadium, a dirt lot next to 176 West Drive in Pasadena is the best place to leave your vehicle.

Length: 3.3-mile loop
