The Pacific Coast Bike Route is a very popular bicycle touring route that follows the Pacific Coast of the United States from approximately Vancouver, British Columbia to Tijuana, Mexico. Caltrans District 1 still maintains and publishes maps for the portion of the route from the Oregon border through Del Norte, Humboldt, and Mendocino County. After getting explicit permission from Caltrans District 1, I have added a portion of the Pacific Coast Bike Route as a regional cycle network route in OSM.

As far as I know, only Oregon and Caltrans District 1 still publish official maps of the Pacific Coast Bike Route. I am still seeking permission from Oregon to use their map to add the Oregon section to OSM. The very nice folks at Caltrans District 1 are currently checking to see if any of the other Caltrans districts still publish maps of the route.

Variations on the Pacific Coast Bike Route are also published by the Adventure Cycling Association and in the book Bicycling the Pacific Coast. Both of these routes diviate to some extent from the official route.

In additional the Pacific Coast is one of the corridors in the proposed official US National Bike Route Network that was recently approved by the AASHTO, so this route may eventually be upgraded from a regional route to a national route.
