Best LA area drives?

Xtianh · 08-27-2017, 05:40 PM

Hi all, I'm working on putting a directory together of the best drives in the LA area. Please post your suggestions here, including the following details: start location, end location, and drive time.

Thanks!

My favorite drive here is to go up PCH, turn right on Encinal, Encinal to Mulholland to Old Topanga, and back down to PCH on Topanga. About 60 miles round trip and not much traffic during the weekday mornings.

Cool. When you're driving up Encinal, do you turn right on to Encinal to stay on Encinal and then hit Mulholland, or do you stay straight (putting you on deck rs) which then turns into mulholland?

I turn right again on Encinal just before the top, which then drops down and climbs back up and ends at a stop sign. Then you go straight and you are on Mulholland again. I've found it's the better way to go.

Latigo Canyon heading down to PCH has always been a favorite of mine.

Latigo Canyon heading down to PCH has always been a favorite of mine. You can't go wrong with any of the drives up there as long as you don't go on Sundays unless you want to get a ticket!

Mulholland, the snake.
Encinal canyon
Decker canyon
Piuma canyon
Latino canyon
They're all close to each other in the Malibu area

Angeles Crest Highway is really fun if you want to add it to your list. Going past newcombs ranch is cool or splitting off to big Tujunga and doing the loop is nice as well.
