I moving to the Irvine area soon and I'm wondering if anyone has driven this road before?

Or if there's anything else near by.

I think that might be a fire access type of road.

Don't forget GMR(Glendora Mountain Road) boys. One of the the most technical roads I've encountered, but loads of fun!

I'm in Irvine too. That road isn't paved but depending on the mods you have it could be great.

Closest roads are Ortega and Glendora. Glendora is more technical but the road quality past the GRR fork is pretty bad.

I am from Long Beach and unfortunately we have no winding local roads. The terminal island freeway 103 that turns to the 47 is a fun straight that you can test top speed on a long straight leading to the ports. GMR is a bit far from Long Beach but is the closest road that will offer a long fun drive. Tujunga canyon up the 210 is a bit farther than GMR from Long Beach but its an isolated canyon that no one drives up. Tujunga has many 3rd and 4th gear corners with some hairpins as compared to GMR in which I was mainly in 2nd and 3rd gear. IMO the funnest canyon roads for the Z ranked in order are Tujunga, GMR, Topanga, Ortega, Angels Crest and Azusa Canyon road. I am a big togue fan so if I missed any roads or anyone knows of any let me know!:tiphat:

Today I did Las Vergines towards the ocean, R on Mulholland, L on Kanan, L on Latigo Canyon to PCH. Latigo was AWESOME! Had to stop and make 1 adjustment along the way. Need more fine tuning.

Ive been here a couple of times, I tried about two weeks ago and there was a brush fire that had the road closed. Its got a very nice lookout. I used it take girls up at night to see the stars(i know cheesy but they gobble it up lol) Its off the 210 and azuza

You're far from this road, but if you're up for a drive, Route 33 in Ojai is outstanding. There are also some great technical roads up here in the Santa Barbara area.

A better option is Santiago canyon to trabuco canyon and it's close to this road and it's longer than the one you posted. If you've ever heard of cooks corner than, you probably already know about Santiago.

Anyway, for south oc, the best road is Ortega, followed by Santiago, not much else other than those two.

And yes....dcocci is on point regarding Ojai, the twisties just go on and on....

Ortega Hwy dana point and palomar Mtn near ocean side.

Add in a visit to Julian and I can't think of a better way to spend a weekend morning.

Nothing beats a warm apple pie!

I miss San Diego but I might be moving back in a few months.

SoCal guys and gals should try this. 20+ miles 130 turns many sharpies and will numb our hands.

It's routes like this one that make me start thinking about weight reduction and suspension mods... My car is happier on ACH. Malibu is so special though. Fleeting glimpses of blue ocean tempt your eyes away from the road. Hmm.. I haven't been there in almost a year...
