It's 40 miles of excellent twisties along the ridge of the mountain. It's arguably one of the best driving roads in the bay area. I've only been on it from Saratoga to San Mateo but it was phenomenal! The only traffic is usually sports cars and bikers. Its amazing.

Also, once you're north of SF, get back on 1 the ride is awesome and the views are beautiful, the only thing that sucks is the slow beach traffic around Stinson.

Definitely hit up Skyline!
