California State Route 35
Encyclopedia
State Route 35 in the U.S. state
of California
, generally known as Skyline Boulevard, is a two-lane road
running along the western ridge of Silicon Valley
in California
. It runs from Highway 17 to San Francisco
at State Route 1. It provides scenic views of both the Santa Cruz Mountains
, the Silicon Valley
Metropolitan Area, Half Moon Bay
, and San Francisco Bay
. Because of its high elevation and location it is one of the few places on the Bay Area's southern peninsula from which the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean
are both visible at the same time. A notable feature of Skyline Boulevard is historic Kings Mountain
in Woodside
. Skyline Blvd. offers views of Half Moon Bay
as it summits Kings Mountain.
It was originally designated State Route 5, but this was changed with the creation of Interstate 5 in 1964, to avoid confusion.
and is eligible for the State Scenic Highway System
. However, only the portion from the Santa Cruz-Santa Clara county line to the SR 92 junction is actually a state highway.
The highway begins at the junction of Summit Road and State Route 17. It follows Summit Road up until Bear Creek Road, which bears Route 35 for a few miles until Skyline Boulevard is reached. It bears the name Skyline Boulevard for a majority of its route along the ridge
of the Santa Cruz Mountains
to the west of Silicon Valley
, passing cities such as San Jose
, Saratoga
, and Palo Alto
. The road reaches its highest elevation near Sanborn Skyline County Park at about 3,000 ft (914 m). The ridge that the road follows forms the border between Santa Cruz
and Santa Clara
counties. However, the boundary is so irregular that the road weaves in and out of the two counties.
The ridgetop portion of the route ends at the junction with State Route 92
, because this northern area of the Santa Cruz Mountains is a protected watershed
owned by the San Francisco Water Department
. Highway 35 is co-routed
with SR 92 for 2 miles (3 km) east, descending towards Crystal Springs Reservoir
, which it crosses on a causeway
, and then joins Interstate 280
northbound for 6 miles (10 km). However, on the southbound side, Route 35 exists as a separate road to the west of the freeway between Bunker Hill Dr. and Route 92, as there is no connector road between 280 South and 92 West.
Route 35 departs from 280 at the southern end of San Bruno
, running to the west of the freeway, regaining the ridgetop separating South San Francisco
and Daly City
from Pacifica
.
It crosses State Route 1
in Daly City and in San Francisco, Skyline Boulevard ends and the highway briefly continues along Sloat Boulevard until it reaches its terminus when it intersects Highway 1 again at 19th Avenue.
Because of its scenic views and winding roadway, Skyline Boulevard and surrounding roads see substantial recreational motoring and bicycling use. Many sports car
s and motorcycle
s can be found congregating near the intersections with State Route 9 and State Route 84, particularly on weekends. Mountain bike
rs are also commonly found at the many trailhead
s along the road.
Several public open spaces border on Skyline Boulevard, including Sanborn County Park, Windy Hill
, and the Purisima Open Space; both the latter are parts of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District
. Numerous hiking trails originate from parking lots off Skyline in these open spaces.
Whenever there is snow on the road's higher elevations, many people take their families up to see and play in the snow, and therefore, many of the parking lots at regional parks are packed with cars.
's skyline, and also the Pacific Ocean
. One such vista point, Skeggs Point
, is between Kings Mountain
and SR84. The route passes through many of the wildlife refuges along the ridge of Silicon Valley and other parks:
A number of streams originate near Skyline Boulevard, flowing to both Pacific Ocean
and the Bay. Among the bayside streams are San Francisquito Creek
, Redwood Creek
, and San Bruno Creek
.

History
As old highway maps show, State Route 35 was originally designated State Route 5. The number was changed in the 1964 renumbering. The original state route 35 ran north to south from State Route 22 to U.S. 99, first along Los Alamitos Blvd. going north which turns into Norwalk Blvd. The highway continued west on Centralia Road and then north along Pioneer Blvd. until hiting San Antonio drive at Rosecrans Ave. San Antonio Dr. would turn back into Norwalk blvd. and Route 35 would continue turning into Old Mill Road at Beverly Blvd. Route 35 would wind through Rose Hills and Avocado Heights and would then turn into Puente Ave. at Valley Blvd. and continue to Route 99 where Route 35 ended at the border of Baldwin ParkBaldwin Park
