CA 9 — Boulder Creek to Saratoga

United States · measured from OpenStreetMap geometry

CA 9 runs 25 miles between Boulder Creek and Saratoga. We counted 999 corners along it, which works out at 40 a mile — consistently twisty. It runs past mountain peaks, a ridge line, cliffs and woodland. That puts it in the busiest tenth of every road we have measured in the United States, where the median is 19.4 a mile.

Ridden together with Empire Grade and Glenwood Drive it makes about 18 more miles of the same kind of road.

How we measured it

Corner counts come from the road's own geometry in OpenStreetMap, not from ratings or votes. Every bend above a threshold of curvature is counted once, so two roads can be compared directly. Nothing here is crowdsourced and nobody paid to appear.
