Wow. That is like driving up a cliff. We live in the TX hill country and my cousin has a house about one mile from us. They have a 25 foot rise from the road to their garage about 75 feet away, but don’t need 4 wheel drive.
They have terraced the entire front yard with retaining walls. Each terrace is about 20 feet from the next one. They are putting good dirt onto the limestone base. Mortar is put between each rock on every terrace.

Any retaining wall here in Calif over 3 or 4 feet must be engineered but it sounds like you have room for several 3 foot lifts. I use a block that has a lip on the bottom back and you offset each row...
Home Depot has several sizes such as thsese... Mash Here
