I'm trying to find new scenic drives.

I go on the PCH once in a while but slowly getting tired of seaside drives. Looking more into twisty roads surrounded by hills. Just encountered Carbon Canyon Rd today that stretches from Brea going into Chino Hills and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I drove on Santiago Canyon Rd the other day and thought it was OK.

So... which ones are your favorites? List them below!

I enjoy the drive from Simi Valley through Santa Paula into Ojai. Then, if you have the time, from Ojai via the 33 and 166 to Santa Maria.

The wife and I generally stop in Ojai and eat (and get icecream) and continue on the journey. Sometimes going to SB, or just getting lost in the hills tillwe decide to turn around and/or find our way home. She is cool like that, lucky for me.

Carbon Canyon Rd used to be my "long way" home from work.

Map listed all the ones I was going to name. Good post Just F Me.

Personally Ortega HWY is really fun. There's also a nice scenic path in Palm Springs I took. It was the 62 or something like that but it headed towards Joshua Tree. Then you take all these roads back to the 10 fwy.

Angeles Crest Highway has never disappointed me. Nice amount of curves with great views on the portion between Mt. Wilson and Wrightwood. Every time I've gone, not much traffic on that section and if there are, most times they'll move out the way for you if they know they're going slow. There's one really straight section where cops like to wait at to catch speeders.

Another one I like to cruise through would be Santiago Canyon Rd from Irvine Lake area to around Foothill Ranch. Not that many turns and not much to really look at but a good road to just drive and clear your mind IMO. This one felt like a longer version of Carbon Canyon to me.

us local IE guys should do a GMR run, early Saturday morning or Sunday. Who'd be down? the weather is nice, we could ride up GMR and split to Fork and come down the 39, its a mission but if you like to drive it's a sweet way to spend a morning.

too many bicycles out on the roads these days

between them and the cops its hard to cruise some of the better canyons anymore
