Comments:
One of the best roads in California!!! Would be my favorite except for the traffic!
High speed and low speed sections with switchbacks, sweepers, and high-speed bends.
Amazingly beautiful road that’s fun and very challenging.
Lots of motorcycles and light traffic, but turn-outs everywhere for plenty of photos and letting slow traffic build distance.
Uphill and downhill canyon roads with a little gravel especially in the winter.
Location:
Connector between HWY 126 in Ojai, CA and HWY 166 in Cuyama, CA.
Pairing:
Best paired with HWY 150 for a better connector than HWY 126 and HWY 166 to get to Santa Maria. Possibly also good with Lockwood Rd. although I’ve never tried that way to get back to HWY 5 at Frazier Park.
