They also climb less than the area average, 78 m (256 ft) against 318 m (1,043 ft), so they suit a recovery day or a group with mixed fitness.

Most of these are on the gentler end, which makes the list a good starting point if you are new to the area. A good share of them are loops, so you can park once and finish where you started.
