This segment is a partial track of what was originally know as "Half Moon Bay - Colma Road". It was built in 1879 as the first road commissioned by San Mateo County over the mountain. It was replaced in 1915 by the nearby Coastside Boulevard (Old San Pedro Mtn Road Trail).Which in turn was replaced by Hwy 1 in 1937.The increased popularity of the automobile made OCR impractical as it was planned with horse wagon and bicycles in mind. This path was lost for nearly 100 years. It began to resurface as a route through volunteer efforts in 2014
