Will have to look that up. Thanks!@Jluu you ever watch Megan Kaptein on YouTube? She’s got some good BC touring videos
@sdmichael send me a map of that route. I haven‘t run any part of Angeles Crest yet. I’m thinking about a Santa Clarita run soon and can add some legs
How do you mean? I just rode the highway from the 210 to 138, then back down 15 to home. The part with 2 is fairly straightforward. The only ways to anything toward Santa Clarita would be to either be really long (out to Big Pines then west via Big Pines Highway and Valyermo, following the San Andreas Fault) or cutting it way short, missing the "good stuff" on Angeles Crest (Upper Big Tujunga or Angeles Forest Highway).
doesnt Angeles Crest start off the 210 in San B?
Angeles Crest Highway (State 2) runs from Foothill Blvd in La Canada to Big Pines Highway, west of Wrightwood. State 2 continues east / north as Big Pines Highway to State 138 at Mountain Top Summit. You might be thinking of Rim of the World Drive, which is State 18 (mostly) and runs from State 210 in San Bernardino to Big Bear. That is in the San Bernardino Mountains. Angeles Crest Highway is in the San Gabriel Mountains.
I'm lucky enough to live in knoxville, tn. Nothing really great about it, except proximity to the tail of the Dragon, devils triangle, and all throughout the Smoky mountains. Others have mentioned these a bunch.
I also used to live in Connecticut. Some of the best roads there would be just driving into western MA and eastern NY, and getting lost for a few hours.
They are actually all part of the same Appalachian mountain range 😊
